I Added A Super Powerful Jet Engine To My GIANT B2 Bomber... Is It Gonna Work???

NEW MERCH JUST GOT POSTED!!! cleetusmcfarland.com
The B2 bomber wasn't fast enough for me... so this mini turbine should do the trick! It puts out some SERIOUS thrust for its size!

[@kevinsnyder333]

That glue will not hold up with that weight. Drill a few holes and tip tie it down as well. There's a spar in the wing and that's the strongest part of the wing. Run the zip ties through the foam and around the spar. Then I think this idea will work! Good luck from a fellow rc jet flyer!

[@kevinfunk83]

I thought “tip tie” was a rc airplane term until I kept reading. I’m an “idiot”.

[@tacocin]

I'd be surprised if it makes it off the ground. Even if it does, the thrust will make it instantly do an inside loop .... there won't be enough airspeed for elevons to function properly. I see a complete failure.

[@PsychotropicThunder]

100%. Also the structure they built to hold the turbine is facing the wrong way. Bringing the turbines weight much to far forward. It will just push the nose down immediately. If they flipped the two supporting beams so it sat more behind the wings than in front of them it would function alot better. You can tell no one there actually has any understanding of physics or engineering. Most of the stuff they do is just buy parts from places and pay to have someone help install them

What makes this so wholesome is that Cleetus got the bomber as a gift from the crew and he couldnt even come close to guessing it because he didnt expect them to get him something related to a hobby he has outside of the channel. Its fucking beautiful to see and the way Garrett runs his business gives me hope for the future that we can all share the wealth and all stay loyal to our friends who helped us on the come up.

Used to be a hobby outside of his channel...

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Imagine if this Styrofoam b2 was actually built more like a titanium b2 and was built to withstand war. Could deliver packages with it. Or armor it up like a micro ac130. Or build them on a micro aircraft carrier and use them to patrol for people lost at sea. Imagine deploying a micro areal refueling tanker. This would be peak rc technology. They already have drones doing nighttime acrobatics so I cant be crazy for saying this.

[@maximumfunk5484]

pretty sure the liquid moving around in the empty bottle could give you some issues down the line... as it accelerates to take off all of the fuel will move to the back of the tank and shift the center of gravity. I think The smaller fuel tank might decrease the effects of the fuel sloshing around but certainly will run out quicker. I have no idea what I'm actually talking about though. more of a guess.

[@ksl929]

The fact that the jet will break away from the B2 may actually save the B2 to fly another day. Because if they attached it correctly, it would probably end up destroying the plane when it inevitably endos into the ground.

[@Danger-Dave]

The trick will be controlling pitch while trying to throttle both sets of engines, unless you have both throttle servos set to the same channel somehow. Then it becomes a throttle advance percentage battle between the jet and electrics verses lift ratio. The height of that jet mount is going to want to pitch the nose down hard.....
