To be fair, the other popular "alternate history Earth with huge focus on planes" setting people are familiar with had a catastrophic asteroid impact event, various atrocities waged with the countermeasures that were created to help mitigate said asteroid impact after it was realized they made excellent superweapons, and finally devolves into a megacorporation controlled hellscape itself.

Put the wings and stabilizer up on struts. Take the engine out of the center, and put tandem engines on top of the wings. Re-shape the lower half of the fuselage for landing on the water. Remove the current shroud around the missile. Add four "air intakes". Two of them are actual intakes, two of them are disguised missile bays.

[@NietoKT]

It's PPS, not pss. Just saying

[@Snowb4II]

Love the build, just got some ideas, the "explosion" from the gun will blow the windows surrounding it so you could replace the middle glass with steel, and the way the gun is placed and the fact that your propeller is covering more there is a larger chance for the plane to damage it and basically shoot it self down. Love the creativity, keep it up! 👍

I love ALL of the worldbuilding in the prop-punk world, the whole thing is just so cool. The criminal gang stuff is always one of my favourite parts of worldbuilding and the prop-punk small military sized drug cartels are so cool. Everyone who has worked on this has done an amazing job.

[@rojnx9]

Did you know that in Nazi occupied France the French criminal gangs would help smuggle soldiers, Jews and resistants out of France and into Spain to escape the Nazis! They also smuggled food and resources into France to sell to the French citizens at a better price, as everything from Germany was way too expensive for the French citizens, they would make a lot of money from this!

[@rojnx9]

I wouldn't be surprised if a large cartel with a fleet of combat capable planes and vehicles to declare themselves an independent micro-nation with a military. It has already been established that companies can own countries in Prop-Punk so a very rich drug cartel could in theory own a country. This is assuming that they would already have a small military of guns, soldiers, planes, boats, cars, trucks and (maybe) armoured vehicles.

[@nuclearsu]

Hey! Great video. There were just a few things I wanted to point out. 1. The plane can only carry one aim-9 missile, so if you encounter multiple targets. you will have to use your gun. 2. Another thing I noticed was that the gun is placed right behind the propeller! Whenever you shoot the gun, it would physically hit the propeller, if it was in real life. But after all, this is just a game. But besides that, great video! I always love your different and unique airplane builds in flyout. I have been watching since you made your first flyout video. Cheers! Edit: Also, I didn't realize that they added cockpit/interior features into this game (the flight instruments) until now! This game has huge potential.

[@lockheedac-130gunship8]

The prop could be timed with the gun like a WW1 fighter

[@gralpher2128]

There were timers used in WW2 so that guns mounted behind a propeller would not hit them. I’d imagine a system like that could easily be used here.

[@frug8435]

There is a thing with armed prop planes such as the p51 where the gun shoots when the props aren't in the way. Don't ask me how it works.

[@MisterRorschach90]

They would need to be stealth capable planes that are similar to ordinary private planes. They would need to have internal weapon bays. It would have twin cannons hidden inside the nose or wings. They would need to have advanced sensor packages and special transponder spoofing technology. They would also need to be built in such a way that crew can quickly exit and board other craft mid flight. It would be extremely dangerous and stupid. But we are talking about drug smuggling pirates here. This could even involve jet packs and wing suits.

thanks for the idea, works really well, no one suspects a thing

[@blindalienproductions5589]

Somewhere along the equator a DEA agent is watching this video and cursing every second of it.

[@sojourner.]

Maybe as an upgrade or later retrofit, rather than retracting the whole fake central pillar, the barrels might be housed in a more narrow pillar that permanently conceals them. There are perhaps then two tiny circular caps or a singular pill-shaped cover, much like that used for the AIM9, which rotate aside on the interior of the housing, thus providing a clear line of fire with much less visual giveaway during combat operations. This might be more necessary as aerial or satellite observation becomes more common along drug routes, by either rivals or enemies of other sorts.

[@dylanwoodhouse237]

Since you mentioned that you were low on ideas, I personally would love to see some type of darkstar/sr71 Hugh speed jet. That and you mentioned mapping the flyout world a while back. A video on how one might do that would be really interesting.

[@johndough5596]

I think a better design would be a blended wing drone thats amphibious with stol capabilities and light ecm abilities. Maximise heavy carry capabilities, could incorporate stealthy features, ecm to cover any radar or drone jammers, can land in areas like swamps where its hard to patrol/ get to. Made cheep, with a piston engine, and lots of off the shelf/ easy to find or get components. If its capture no one gets caught with it and its not a huge loss.

[@hughmungus5033]

Instead of it being a small time drug lord, maybe it could be a smuggling transportation contractor, similar to how real legitimate businesses contract out some of their work.

[@ChristopherSloane]

A single engine aircraft would be a bad idea. As for missiles the IGLA or STINGER would be cheaper and closer range 4km , they would most likely use guns as well simply the .50 four of them or dual 20mm. Dual engine allow more payload and clearly better survival chance. The frame would be wider to carry plenty of "cargo". Also giving more room for fuel for those long trips. It would also have radar to avoid other aircraft or the law. It would also need strong landing gear for those off runway landings and having large cargo door to unload quickly would be a good idea

[@chickenbutter2557]

Supersonic biplane (no tech limits)? Day 12

[@jpase]

I love it! This fits perfectly with an idea I've been cooking up earlier and I think it would fit well with the prop-punk world. I call it scrap-punk (if you suggest a better name, I will steal it shamelessly), basically the aviation laws and regulations in this world are really lax, making small aircraft (such as this one) really more comparable to cars in terms of commonness and upkeep costs. However, new aircraft themselves are quite expensive, possibly due to capitalist aircraft manufacturers trying to keep a monopoly and communist governments not wanting to waste resources that could be used for militaries on common people. This leads to people repairing and modifying old airplanes and even building them from scratch, basically doing everything to avoid buying new planes. Personal aircraft you'd see at small airfields would range from mostly normal planes that have had a bit too much time elapse since the last check-up, to ones that have had a dozen different owners, engines, landing gears and paint coats during their life without ever seeing a certified mechanic, to full on flying scrap heaps built out of corrugated steel, oil drums and car frames. Some people would also manage to somehow get their abominations registered, although a lot would be flying unregistered, breaking the already lax regulations. The corrupt governments, aviation administrations or whoever are supposed to be doing something about the wild west of semi(or full)-illegal frankenstein's aircraft, don't have enough resources or shits to give. Modern (or prop-punk tech level) aircraft obviously still exist, but due to their higher costs they are only used by militaries and big companies, kind of like in real life. Basically i want this style of aircraft to become a spin-off series on the channel

Messier really went all out with this montage

[@loginlover]

I can see jim bob drugsmuggler cutting up the canopy to bubba some guns up there, but needing an interrupter gear system would definitely put a damper on the whole shooting through the propeller thing. Might as well mount them in the wings as the pilot will need some sort of gunsight anyways. All in all based on the logistics of mounting guns to this aircraft in addition to the ordnance with better range and kill chance I'd forgo the guns entirely as this aircraft's mission is to fly from A to B with a heavy load and every gun, bullet, and pound of gear to use those guns lessens your cargo. On the subject of the missile, I'd recommend the weapons bay door be more streamlined and retract vertically to address the significant drag issue in flight (gotta save on fuel costs to get extra range, loiter time, cargo capacity right?). The twin tail is a little unusual compared to the simplicity of a standard empennage but I dont see a reason not to if maintenance isnt a concern. However, making your pilots be tail-dragger certified is something that gets my attention. If there was a way to make this aircraft tricycle gear I'd strongly recommend it. If for no other reason being that tail-dragger endorsements could easily trace back to all your pilots and blow the lid off your smuggling op. For reasons you stated in the video about flying this aircraft in winter with cold weather and visible precip I would hope that Mr Kingpin would see fit that his planes are equipped adequately with boots and appropriate de-icing; if he's willing to arm them with military grade A2A weapons worth more than the airframe then losing one to wing ice would sting a bit! Here's hoping you got a guy on the target field with good weather systems, descending through clouds close to the ground is precisely how you get a CFIT
