Looks fantastic! My own crude version of the Avengers Carrier was build on an old iPod mobile, but I can't download this on phone or tablet. Could download my version on tablet & phone, it's very stable in flight, but yours looks better!
Google "lifting body design" and the Space Shuttle will pop up. On SP using those chines simulates a lifting body, folks. (Notes: SR71 and F22 may not appear on Google, they should, the principle is the same.)
Comments about full acceleration are correct, full thrust is only needed to achieve 60,000 feet. Reduce throttle at 75,000 feet to 25% and that "constant lift" from the chines keep you at 3,500 mph level cruise. @karlosdarkness @Zing2000
Thx, but I can make control surfaces detach easily at 2,000 mph and 10,000 feet on my tablets. Tested on 2 devices, all parts stay on plane when at 60,000+ feet per design. @ahappyape @Zing2000
Just saw this. Gotta rotate the entire structure by 90 degrees, put wheels + fuel along a small lline of blocks on the bottom, and this could fly. It got built sideways, how?
Thx @Ctracerx2 Actually copying this particular one I don't care, go for it - if the wings are changed or the engines, you'll get fireworks on takeoff. The balancing required a dozen attempts.
@TheLatentImage Sorry about that experience dude; it does download and run laggy on my iPad (med), and runs great on my quad-core Android (hi res). I haven't tried a desktop test yet.
Thx @tristanblock for rating. Does work, but is not vertical liftoff. Needs to reach about 130 mph in water first, and will lift from water as if it were a runway. Like any quadcopter requires constant stabilization adjustments to remain level in-air.
I've posted an F104-turbofan testbed, stock parts, and I used VTOL for ballast then remembered to also place nozzles in rear for VTOL level thrust. This plane has the same parts as yours but goes 1,100 mph in level flight - you could upgrade this easily.
Good imitation. Like the looks!

Nice fixes, like the results, again tho I flew the model like a commercial liner not a stunt jet......
Great build of a Sopwith, flies well!
Nice collaboration, nice unique plane! @thelatentimage @ctracerx2
Easesily the best, simplest VTOL model I've tested. Like it!
@hypnotoad @thelatentimage A good wing planform, here!
Love the looks! May I mod it a bit, credit you, and repost a more stable version?

@karlosdarkness @ahappyape Here's the update, larger wings, chines instead of canards.
A blast to fly on my iPad Air! A creative beauty!
Looks great! Download my X15 Parts Missiles Turboprops and put an X15 in the bay. A fast stable X15 body subassembly.
Nice Banshee! Well-built. Agile.
That's scary fun, you should post your mod, I'll test it! @Ctracerx2

Good one! Very original UFO greenie!
A beauty Zing2000!
Thx @thelatentimage
Yeah, this one's a hotrod, once airborn it's kinda like riding a missile, more than I was shooting for. Glad you liked it @ctracerx2 @thelatentimage
I wanted a new unique creation, and am glad it finally flew with decent control, thanks @ahappyape @hypnotoad
Complex. Beautiful! Works fine on my newer Android.
Thx @ctracerx2
Thx @jacobhardy64
Thanks @jacobhardy64
@Ctracerx2 Thanks for your fuel cell post, anyway. An EXTREMELY useful part!
Note: @Ctracerx2 528 gal fuel cells were placed on this model: Credit to Ctracertx2.

Thanks @planesnthings
Thanks @planesnthings I agree it "looks" nicer, with the new props (which BTW are cosmetic but I like them)
Great, I avoided mirroring wings+engines (bad idea) flipped one of the nozzles on each, Perfect! @WalrusAircraft
Terrific replication of a classic nuke/ multirole USAF workhorse!
Sorta a flying spider. Like it!
The supersonic Gripen's a good looking plane, you've captured it here!
Note, @Teus this belongs with your UCAV
Great build & plane performance, that's a tricky wing assembly!
Thanks! @JMicah4
Thx @planesnthings Yes I just tested your Tacit Blue. Good one!
Outstandind job. Still in service in special roles.
Thanks @ElijahtheGreat Yeah, a desktop is recommended, and it buzzes all around the island scene like a 70,000 airborne oil tanker.....
Usable, simple. Nicely done!
Glad you like it @ctracerx2
Thanks @ctracerx2 This one took many attempts - full deck carrier water launch & land and fly over the hills!

@WeirdheadedRedbeard This one's heavier, helps with smoother takeoff, but in-air handles about the same.

Okay, BTW phones don't run this model - a fast tablet or desktop will. All parts are standard, no beta stuff. @JMicah4
