Personal repositories aren’t production code. They’re learning opportunities. You tried adding 100 engines to a plane and learned that that was a bad idea. Who cares if there’s no cockpit if you were test-driving the wings?

The top left still has a cockpit, look at the tail fin lol

This is.... More inspirational than I thought it could be.

How'd you get ahold of my KSP save file?

Half of them fly, that's pretty impressive.

Those look pretty tame compared to some aircraft that actually took flight IRL - like Nemeth Parasol, Vought V-173, VVA-14, Coleopters, Flettner airplanes, and many, many more. Actually, they'd fit well as a following with "the projects they hire you to work on".

Thanks for this, those are some incredible designs!

I love the pic of all engines the most. :)

Would probably use all fuel in 10 minutes, and be way too heavy to even take off.

This is just off the top of my head from a bit of experience in KSP, but depending on the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engines, it would probably be able to take off, but you're right, it wouldn't win any fuel economy awards.

Actually I doubt any material could stand that kind of wing loading, and the aerodynamics would probably be all kinds of fucked. Pretty apt analogy for a beginner developer.

maybe the engines would take off by themselves

They look kinda done tho

not sure if I'm in this picture and should be offended

Look at my GitHub which is just a million forks of dead projects

That last plane is very excited to see you.

It's okay, it happens

How you see your projects trying to accept that you might need to compromise.

That's where innovation happens.
