January 7, 20188 yr Uhhh...Ryan...isn't the propeller on the wrong spot on that plane? How can you go forward when the silly thing is on top? Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
January 7, 20188 yr It's OK Steve, there's a jetpipe poking out the top of the fuselage facing rearwards which provides forward thrust...

I'd just think you'd get way more speed if that prop was on the front (or back) of the aircraft. When I worked on them helo thingies in the Navy we used to have a another theory as to how they actually flew: "A helo is so ugly, it flies because the ground repulses it!"

I think it's a miracle these things can get off the ground!

Another saying we had in the Navy referring to helicopters: Helos don't fly, they beat the air into submission! They are essentially bumble bees that we stick people in, hehe....neither should fly according to the laws of aerodynamics.
