More literal than funnelling air backwards

While irl : We have Foldable Phone! KSP : Yeah, Foldable Jet fighter.

[@aux_fox]

All that engineering into a reverse thrust, and it still can’t pushback on the ground lmao

The corsair used the landing gear for dive brakes aka air brakes. You decided to use the TAIL

[@morrischen5777]

You gonna start pumping out those overtechnology from the alien ship.

We Macross now, lads!

[@chickenychickens07]

That was what I was thinking about fr

Love seeing VF-11, it's just so rare to see on youtube.

[@user-ij7yf4zp6m]

Bro took air brakes to another level

[@Billy-BobXIV]

There's a much less insane version of this as an upgrade in a game called TOP DOG. It's a cool game. Basically, the upgrade makes strafing sideways overpowered and makes you really fast and agile.

@@RADIS370 it’s related to the video though, also, judging by the profile picture and name, it’s not a bot looking account

bro reinvented reversed thrust

When chemical containment zone engineers get set loose they come up with this stuff

Macross fans in 2024? I thought we were all extinct brother xD

[@G-Cole-01]

I'm more familiar with Robotech, but they've kind of blended together a bit in my head anyway since they're basically split timelines.

[@josiahstanley9291]

The old ps3 War hawk game had a cool plane called the war hawk as well as the nemesis. Both could vtol as well as quick brake. I copied the war hawk plane in ksp and it flew amazing. Brakes on a dime as well as good stability on vtol. I used a very similar approach that you used with the hinged thrusters. Cool plane you made dude for sure.

[@gbrads]

That is such a cool design.

[@danielbrandi07]

You might aswell use wing mounted engines and rotate them along the y axis using servos, or mount them on the fuselage (A-10 Warthog style) and rotate them along the x axis.

[@Spacewalker1870]

idea: have two sets of wings like very slightly offset, but not visually offset, so both wings are on hinges that fold outwards, to turn wings into a powerful airbrake lol

[@SebPlaySpaceflight]

What kind of transformers is this

[@creepstriod8147]

Good, now make the jet fly backwards in mid-air. BTW, This is awesome.

[@rebel6301]

You are mentally insane. I love it.

[@aadvaitture]

yet you manage to overrun the runway lol

wait how its balancing when engines moving

[@G-Cole-01]

@@RAVII0607 yeah, there's reaction wheels on both ends of the aircraft, and even then it handles like if someone strapped jet engines onto that balancing fork trick.

[@An0nymu0z]

Wtf did i just watch

[@G-Cole-01]

airbrakes that mostly consist of just pointing the engines backwards
