Weekly Aircraft Development Competition

[no_intelligence]

So... I may now enter my all-new Koeing BK-03 Kamikaze. My first stable "flying-wing" design with just some small fins. Extremely simple, cheap to build, easy to fly and safe to crash (if you eject the cockpit shortly before the plane hits its target). Equipped with loads of un-needed fuel to cause a devastating explosion.

Somehow, i cannot attach any pictures right now, the forum's upload form does not work. But anyway, I put some on Kerbal-X. Cruise is at 1000m/s at 15.000m, top speed not tested, might go fast enough to explode in-flight.

No, you don't add attachments. You have to host it on another site (imgur is popular) and then embed it. The direct image link works best, but you can also use the BBCode

Hmm. It's Sunday, and we've only got one entry. The options are: 1. As @no_intelligence is the only entrant, he/she wins, and gets to choose the next aircraft to build. (This seems logical) 2. We extend this week until there is another entry, or 3. I make the next week's aircraft and we don't judge this one. (I'm not a fan of this option)

Thoughts?

option 2. And change the title weekly if you'd like to.

Didn't work also. Tried it.

@MiffedStarfish I don't bother which option we agree on, cause I won't have time the next week for building a craft anyway.

[MiffedStarfish]

I think we'll go with option 2 then. Though if anyone has a good idea for a plane PM and we might be able to run that alongside this one.

I'd like to enter into this. Give me an hour and some space tape and you'll have another competitor

Just to give @no_intelligence 's BK-03 some company.  I guess the person that gave the requeriments is not allowed to participate, but i wanted to build it just for fun.

Maybe the problem to embed the album is related to the web browser?  I had a similar problem a while ago, i was able to post the link but it didn't show as an embeded album or image. Aparently the issue solved itself:

Spoiler

Simply copy the link and paste it in the post.
