| Practical updates
I didn't realise how much of a need there seems to be for fantasy to be grounded in practicality and physics. Granted, you do have a point. The more feasible something is, the more your audience will believe is could exist. Probably why shows like the reimagined Battlestar Galactica has done so well. It just seems that much for plausible than the original.
So with all that in mind, I have refined the fuselage to make is ever so slightly more aerodynamic and thrown in a double set of wings at the back. Could have put them on the forward third of the fuselage, but then is starts to look too normal.
I have no illusions that in reality this would battle to get off the ground, but that's why fiction is such a wonderful thing. You can do what you want.
Anyway, enough ramble. Have a look and tell me if I'm getting warmer.
Ps. I have got a reasonably detailed backstory hovering around in the grey matter. It involves elements that will possibly give me a little more 'artistic license'. From these elements will come the Mk II, III, etc. But telling now will be like reading the last page of a mystery novel first... I've also got to come up with a few other bits and pieces (including the baddies). Sure Manfred von Richthofen will evade his 1918 death and continue to be elude Allied aces. |
