Can you guys help me make this space plane aerodynamic?


Recommended Posts

Is this intended to be a plane or a SciFi replica from something?  If it's a replica, well those don't usually have any basis in reality so getting them to fly is quite challenging.

However if this is just a plane design, you need to seriously remove superfluous draggy parts.

What are you using for pitch? 

Most likely brute force thrust vectoring. The rear landing gear is mounted so far to the rear no amount of control surfaces (except canards) will raise the nose.

On the other hand; since the CoL is most likely in front of the CoM all the plane wants to do is raise its nose and flip over backwards.
