After years of intense building a the creation planes along the concept "bigger is better" the design department decided that it was time for change. As a result project minus was started, with as only objective: building small aircraft. So far the project has led to the construction of a line of 4 small lightweight aircraft, all controlled from an outside seating position. These aircraft turned out to be very maneuverable but most certainly not the easier to fly, so be careful with the controls if you decide to take them out for a spin.

As far as size goes, the smallest model "Femto" (very left in the image) has a height of 1.4 meters, a width of 2.3 length and a width of 2.1m 

Following up in size is the "Pico" (which is on the very right) measures 2.0m high, 3.2 wide and 3.4 long.

Next up the "Micro" (second from the right) 2.7m high, 4.4 wide and 5.1 long.

And the "Nano" (which one would it be...) 2.2 high, 5.5 wide and 5.0 long.

We now also construct the "Atto" which is 1.5m high, 1.7 wide and 1.5 long.

For this new one i've gone a tad bigger, the Milli is 2.6 meters high, 6.6 wide and 5.3 long. it's a twin engined twin seater plane.

All of these planes are powered by a juno jet engine and can reach speeds between 100 and 200m/s

The tiny one reminds me of the time I sent four tiny test jet powered 'land speeders' to Duna. They could barely glide but with the low gravity and atmosphere they could reach amazingly high speeds, jumping then gliding, covering huge distances in no time at all. Using the small landing gear is essential of course for those high speed 'touchdowns' during the flight. The only issue was stopping.. :D

Hahahaha damn that must've been great! i've only once sent a plane to Duna, reached incredible speeds but I made the mistake of taking the wrong gears which ended in a situation where i had a plane and no way to put it down... I could only let the pilot jump out at high altitude and he magically survived...after which he was stuck on a distant planet far far away from the base... I decided to never do it again :D

How you guys make jetplanes work on Duna? You mean Laythe, no?:confused:

my plane was rocket powered. But I have indeed wondered about how @Majorjim! managed to do that :P 

 

Yes sorry for the confusion, I meant to write rocket powered. I was thinking, write rocket but I wrote jet because my hands seem to have a mind of their own.. It was powered by two 'ant' engines. I forget what they are called now. The tiny ones.
