Phoenix Aerospace, aka. In which I don't know what I'm doing.

After the Harpy, I got it in my head to make a sea-landable cargo SSTO that should be also accessible to regular airports that can service 747s and A380s.


I cranked out a basic shape for the fuselage.



Fiddled with it a bit more.


Got to detailing.


And then started making the engines. Pic was from an earlier try, before I settled on something hexagonal.


What am I doing? I don't know. Something Vulcan-ish for the engines maybe?

At least half of the intended gameplay won't even work in YS anyway, since it's supposed to be an SSTO.

I still don't know what I'm doing.
