What do you think of this plane design?


Recommended Posts

I was trying to go for another cargo drop aircraft, like this

But upon beginning to design it, I came across a more interesting idea. I ended up with a u shape fuselage with two side-by-side mk2 modules, but it allowed for 4 engines to be used in a relatively simple construction. Now what I am looking for are ways to optimist this plane, such as how can I reduce the need for struts. What I can say is that it flies very very smoothly, with an extremely low glide speed. I would also like to ask about the best way to place the landing gear on this aircraft, as well as any additional (stock) decorations that can improve it's aesthetic.

It's main feature I like is it's excellent low glide speed and turning stability

A few pictures:

2) looking good at 40 m/s
