Help needed with f117 replica


Recommended Posts

Yeah getting it to fly was really problematic and still is but right now my only real solution to that has been adding about 8 angled d type wings and a bunch of hidden control surfaces which gives me this:

. In terms of hiding the engines I'm undecided between having a thin slit in the back to let the power through eg:

or the option of trying to incorporate the engines into the overall surface like in jetenginestar's version

Ok you can compensate the angled lift force with opposite angled wings ok, but this will even produce more drag when running, so you can resolve some stability and manouverabilty problems but the plane will fly even slower than before. The only way now is adding MOARRR POWERRRRRR

Actually, move the engines forwards. That will move CoM to the nose, meaning the tail gets awesome lever arm for control, to counteract the aerodynamic mess on the nose, and it will look cleaner. You just have to keep a clean path for the exhaust.

Rune. I think that could work wonders... the cockpit would just push down, not create torque, for example.

Or even nust a non working basic jet engine for com refinement
