Some of the features that are being designed in: Even though the current sweep/slope isn't exactly right, it's structure is fare more stable and buildable. The sweep/slope combination for the wings was especially challenging, with early attempts in using multiple ball-socket joints failing utterly under the weight of each wing (each engine pod weighs almost 0.5kg, or just over a pound). in order to better angle the engine thrust. For example, the main thrusters and their vectors were supposedly able to rotate about the centre axis of the engine pod. Unfortunately, there is a lot of conflicting information from online sources. One of the goals with this was to try replicate the proportions, angles and features of what was shown on screen. Understand, this is a work-in-progress, and likely to see changes from what I'm showing here, but current prototype building of the internal hull and wing framing is going well, the cockpit module is complete and the engine build test is proceeding better than expected. have afforded enough time to sink my teeth into the challenges, and I think I have something worth sharing. The corona-virus restrictions on travel, work, etc. I thought it was time I shared something I've been working on in the background of other projects.
