    I think you would need to leave some space between the wings so the pointy bits don’t collide, but that’s a funs concept!

    Imagine the spinning wings stop and the inertia kicks in for the pilot, absolute vomit-pamdaemonium

      The back set of wings is supposed to be just long enough to clear the forward wings and line up. Measurements say it works but a failure of fully accounting for perception of perspective.

    I’m seeing a lot more geometry in play here, like you found a little gizmo and made it something new. Reminds me of a Chroma Moma video I saw where he talks about this exact technique. I should really try it.

    If this was constructed with some random thing as a reference, it was a great choice. Fun to imagine this thing in a space skirmish!

      Not based on an existing object, just a fighter design I’ve been toying with for a while. I like the action figure sensibility of having moving parts to snap into attack mode.

    How ‘hard’ is your concept?
    I’m curious about the engineering and design.

    This is really fun! Reminds me a little of a B-wing which was always one of my favourites
