    @MrTyTheGreat the problem of the falcon is that musk hasnt even delivered yet (realy there was only a hand full of reused rockets on his list yet. they needed more time than the space shuttle to refurbish their rockets).

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @MrTyTheGreat and here comes the esa concept to build a plane around the engine (yupp thats the idea you would loose some money but it only needs one or two chutes).

  • Slow Black 7.1 years ago

    @Rodrigo110 @SledDriver there was one a real flying tank. it was to fat to fly so that it could only fly without ammo or fuel, the armor ot he tank was weaker because it neede to be light weight and a tank has very bad aerodynamics. one of the studest things ever done in human history.

  • Slow Black 7.1 years ago

    @SledDriver the name bin chicken stamms form the fact that it has a tendency to raid bins.

  • m-15 belphegor (fixed) 7.1 years ago

    @darkhawk138 thx.

  • m-15 belphegor (fixed) 7.1 years ago

    i think the reason for the friendly said problematic look is the combination of biplane, cropduster and jetplane.

  • m-15 belphegor (fixed) 7.1 years ago

    can i try to build a fighter bomber out of it?

  • m-15 belphegor (fixed) 7.1 years ago

    and its still the ugly duckling it ever was. cool in concept but ugly in design (i dont mean the replica i mean the plane its based on. you cant fix the optix if the original wasnt good looking from the start but still a nice build).

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @MrTyTheGreat there is a company out there who wants to build a space plane and if this works the need for rockets would decrease. that was the plan for the space shuttle before the airforce intervened. ok not to build a single stage launcher but to decrease the need for rockets the space shuttle was basicaly the baby of the silbervogel bomber before the intervention. oh and the only part on a rocket that is realy neccessary is the engine and that was in the end the cost killer on the shuttle (the engine refurbishment).

  • Arado Ar FF-632 "Geist" Fliegende Festung 7.1 years ago

    @agnanSatrio fliegende festung is fitting but kanonenboot would have worked too. the problem is that the google translate translates gunship with kampfhubschrauber but gun ship also fits to the ac130 gunship.

  • Zeppelin Fliegende Panzerfaust 7.1 years ago

    wow the first one on the site that get the fact that zepelin isnt a type of craft. yay! thumps up for you. realy am german and i know a lot about germanian stuff like that the well known do335 is in fact not a fighter but a bomber instead (it has a bombbay) or that the horten ho229 was never called h229 but in reality horten ho9 because it was the 9th plane form them. the 229 is from the mafuacturing plant and the productname was planned to be gotha go229.

  • Arado Ar FF-632 "Geist" Fliegende Festung 7.1 years ago

    @agnanSatrio uhm thats no helicopter. thats a single wing plane. and if you want to know from where i get the info: i am german and kampfhubschrauber translates to attack helicopter. besides this flaws its good.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @MrTyTheGreat thats what the ESA wants to do and i think its the best way because the engine is the only part that realy counts.

  • battle of the crazy guys. 7.1 years ago

    @InternationalAircraftCompany its one of the possible translation but it can also mean crazy idiot. i am german we have over 20 words for idiot and more than 3 for carpet. dont forgett that:).

  • battle of the crazy guys. 7.1 years ago

    @InternationalAircraftCompany @Mostly @InternationalAircraftCompany thanks for the help but has someone of you any idea how to trasnlate the german word spinner into english? the problem is that this also means a propeller part.

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    @QingyuZhou why did the left arm vanish?

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    @QingyuZhou (^.^)/

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    @QingyuZhou (^.^)/

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    @QingyuZhou i wanted the critters safe not the donald. but nice idea to build such stuffs into your builds. (^.^)/

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    @WaffleCakes IM IN FEAR TOO! BUT IM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT TRUMP NEXT TO THE POOR CRITERS! now need the dino and SP explodes into the 5th dimension.

  • Memecopter 7.1 years ago

    OMG!!!!! NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE KILL IT WITH FIRE! ok and now: why did you put this poor worms and jellys next to trump? did you want them to get dumber than dumb? #savethecrittersfromtrump

  • Slow Black 7.1 years ago

    @SledDriver a joke name for an ibis.

  • Use a tank to shoot a T-arget 7.1 years ago

    a german tank ace shot donw a plane during the second world war. using the main gun.

  • Hs 129 b-3 no mods 7.1 years ago

    @MethaManAircraft look at the plane from the front. it looks like a shoe.

  • Bob Semple (SILVER SPECIAL!) 7.1 years ago

    @Mostly @Priaxis the last tracked tanktor of the world. and a thing of true jokes.

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @Tully2001 water is not so uncommon to attack a planet for it. that is the problem water is practicaly the most common molecule so that a race that wages interstelar wars about it is a dumb concept. we need water and i know this so yes thanks to remind me of a writing error in the text above that i didnt noticed until now. btw what did you think what would be the biggest reason for a war between us and aliens? i would say missunderstandings like a species of plant like aliens gets greeted by the PETA.

  • BF-109 7.1 years ago

    looks nice so far but the engine is wrong. the bf109 used a v12 when i get it right.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @PorkyClown3 the rocket is mostly made of two tanks. the space ex rockets have a size limit imposed by elon so that his company has the serous issue to limp behind when it comes down to high power rockets. for your information: the biggest balloon in human history is the saturn V with the ariane 5 on second place. both rockets are kept in shape by the pressure of their own fuel. every gram you can shave of is a win in capacity and musk looses the only thing that realy matters on every lading crash. simply saving the most precious part is far cheaper and gives you mobility fra beond musks horizon in capacity (fun fact: the saturn V flew on only two or three of the main stage engines. the center engine run on full throttle and the four engines around it were running on only half or quarter power because they were steering).

  • SA Current SVP (1/2 scale) 7.1 years ago

    uhm why did you post this thing twice? or is this because this dealy thing of sp?

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @PorkyClown3 nasa promised weekly launches with the space shuttle. then the military steped in. nasa launches when they have a reason to launch spacex is a private contractor. there are diffenreces that need acounting so the bfr will most likely not even remotely beat the sls in cost points because you need fuel to land the thing. i find the esa idea far better than musks idea because the only part that you realy need for reusing is the engine so why dont only save the engine only? should even work with multiple stages.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @PorkyClown3 the fact is that you should start with a trowaway rocket because they are cheaper.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @Kerbango thepilotdude made a great coment that even contained an argument that i didnt had for not building one. but yeah i think bowie won here (his major tom was even in a german song called völlig losgelöst).

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @PorkyClown3 could be a solution but he dreams to big to get this thing up and running in his scedule. nasa had the idea first o use spaceships for international travel. so yes the rocket could be there soon but i would say that the sls will beat the bfr.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @ThePilotDude and thats the idea of the dude wo worte a book about a black stone that made monkeys into humans and turned jupiter into a star (2001 oddesy in space and 2010 the year we make contact both were turned into movies later).

  • 3M-54 Kalibr Cruise Missile 7.1 years ago

    @ljutiren have startet a little discussion about the space elevator today. would be nice to have some talk over there its about a problem in the concept i noticed.

  • 3M-54 Kalibr Cruise Missile 7.1 years ago

    @ljutiren ok. its funny how many people dont even know that cruise missiles arent rockets.

  • 3M-54 Kalibr Cruise Missile 7.1 years ago

    looks nice but where are the wings? are they tucked in or what? when yes than the descritption isnt finished. but it looks nice none the less.

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    @Tully2001 @SledDriver

  • future of space travel stuff. 7.1 years ago

    what do you think @DemonSniper8?

  • Hs 129 b-3 no mods 7.1 years ago

    @MethaManAircraft the walking shoe of death. look for your self its the front view.

  • Slow Black 7.1 years ago

    @SledDriver could you build a craft that at least is called bin chicken?

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @Tully2001 what was the profanity thing btw? my english isnt very great.

  • X plane 7.1 years ago

    whtas the biggest weaknes of fictional canard planes by peoples that dont understand the advantegs of this way to build? to place the guns on the wings. i think the best candidate for this award in idiotic building is the x-wing that swaps its guns with the payload launchers in place for the better gun implacement. or more direct: you can tell if someone understands the concept of canard fighters by gun implacement (best place for guns in under the nose of the plane). looks nice for a start.

  • Aerodynamic wind tunnel 7.1 years ago

    does this thing wokr and wen yes how?

  • Mi-24 7.1 years ago

    blocky but a god looking start.

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @Tully2001 i never said that fgw craft was not god. i said that his story for it was rubish. water is super abundand and he had build a craft that is from an alian race tha searches for water but instead of simply asking he blocked up so i wanted to talk. could it be that the website needs some rules regarding storys for alien encounters?

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @FastDan media zealot is a youtuber wo takes such under developed traverlers apart but i think the winer is for me the attacking civiliastion from pacific rim: the are silicone based but silicone based live has even bigger problem with oxigen than we have. un our case only unbound or single bound oxigen atom are a problem but for them even water is toxic. and what do they attack? a water world. i think the same guy did the mosnters for a quite place.

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @RailfanEthan i was only a bit angry on this very common trope of the super stupid race that invades the places that makes the worst target for the cheapest stuffs. @FastDan btw whats the dumbest scy fi race you know (the daleks are out of the picture here because the even life in wheely bins).

    +1
  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @FastDan i mean the best material to build spacecraft out of is titanium and possibly some plastics (a good reason for a species to attack because we have trees that could be used to creat such stuffs).

  • things to remind you all. 7.1 years ago

    @FastDan wow. how many guys that think like trump when creating aliens exists on the interwebs? oops that was drama in its own but yeah why do the most sci-fi writers think aliens only need some resources? in this regard the plot of war of the worlds is mostlikely the best plot for an alien invasion story ever made. they are so advanced that theyr power is of the chards for us and what they want is only the planet.
