@dabestsock this is very settle - lines, shapes, angles, geometry those are resembling to other Sukhoi fighter jets. Like a BMW car related to another BMW. After looking closely to thousands of airplanes, you will figure it out
@overlord5453 No, I down't want to restrict (changing the mass and drag to zero) but not to over do it. which ruins the reality when it is over do. The planes fly like a balloon rather than "heavier than air" aircraft.
Very nice to fly, but as there is almost zero drag and zero mass makes the plane very difficult to land. It is keep on flying and can’t stop. I suggest to leave mass and drag for some realistic flight experience
@THEOKPILOT thanks. Most of my planes are easy to land. You have to control the acceleration by reversing the propeller thrust. So, there is no crazy acceleration. Please check my notes
@MonsNotTheMonster When you double the fuselage, you also double the engine power. But it doesn't mean you got the efficiency - because you also double the drag force. So basically .... NO. It may be even slower in a real-world situation. Just answering the question, (this is a cool fictional build and nothing wrong with it)
@GeneralCorpInc
Good idea with your concept, and thanks for joining. Here is my input that may be helpful for your future builds.
- I consider your build as quite a modern design built between 1980-2010 by looking at the nosecone and style of the aircraft. Also, the blade style "Scimitar" (which is a modern one) will usually paired with a turbo-prop engine. So using an (old-fashioned) radial piston engine looks a bit off to me. Not many people will be picky about it, but just sharing my knowledge. Have fun and appreciate for joining.
Hello friends, I have some urgent things (in good ways though) and so I got delayed in the judging process. I will post the results once I am done. Maybe in a week. Sorry for the lateness. Sept/3/2024
I haven't been inactive on SP for 2 weeks for a good reason - I was visiting the Washington DC area and the National Air and Space Museum (Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center). There are 2 large avaition museums in DC area, and this museum is not one in the city (which most tourists visited), but it's located close to Dulles International Airport. There's so much to say, So I'll post videos about the VTOLs, helicopters, and restoration hangar in the next one.
This is part-2 special on helicopters and VTOLS, and about the restoration hanger-
I wish you all for some good inspirations and mood to build new staff - Enjoy!
Beautiful work my friend

another lovely staff
I have been building this for a few months ago and never finalized it yet. Good to see one.
@MrCOPTY you could improve the cockpit details and repost it if you want
+1Thanks @DoughDough5 that is so fast, 2 seconds after upload
+1@SukhoiSu57Fighter glad to know that
great job with your work @Niquans - welcome to the community
good one!
beautiful work my friend
+1awesome
+1@Blazer2006 Thanks
Looking cool with 10
Merhaba! Looks nice
+1good luck buddy
+2@Boeing727200F wow 9.9 years ago...Two lonely people on Page No. 15563 .. LOL
@MrCOPTY yes
+1nice concept
@MrCOPTY same here... lots of idea, but not much time to play
+1nice, love to see such rear aircraft and prototypes
@THEOKPILOT Thanks, Try ALL my seaplanes. I make sure to take off
@crazyplaness even less, because there is a few Gold users on Page 13.
@crazyplaness There is only 13 pages of Platinum users, https://www.simpleplanes.com/Users/?p=13 which means * 36 users per page X 13 pages = 468 users*
So only 468 users out of 558,360 users are platinum
@overlord5453 No, I down't want to restrict (changing the mass and drag to zero) but not to over do it. which ruins the reality when it is over do. The planes fly like a balloon rather than "heavier than air" aircraft.
+1@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 my pleasure, I will post the prizes tomorrow or later as I ran out of spotlights for tonight
WINNERS ARE POSTED!

I will post the prizes/spotlights soon in 1-2 days. Thanks for joining
Congratulations guys

Both old and new builds were nose heavy - be careful with the balance- so that you can build a better plane in the future
Awesome build. It will be great if I could control better
Great plane to fly.
+1@TheOfficalMarylander wow… from 990 years ago ;P
@airlinerbuilder Yes, very little

Note: the number of users is growing over time, and so this calculation is general, and it is as of 9/2024.
No worries, You are in because I am still judging.
very nice, love the windows

Thank you all for joining.
+2@VeryPlain read my fried
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 I am working on it
+1The autogyro on the cover thumbnail is Kellet-Xo-60
@Christiant2 yes. There is NAVal air museum. Blimps are interesting
@Christiant2 you mean the NAVY museum? I will try
+1@Christiant2 nice. Take the opportunity- I am from New York City. So it take about 5 hours to drive
