Well, firstly. I am posting this in all confidence that no 1 will cheat and run of with the idea. id hope you wouldnt anyway!
I found in researching that is would be best to take a prop styled plane and add to it as the seem more rhobustly built (With Exceptions)!
I was planning on a 6 seater aircraft, 4 passengers, as it is approximately the right size.
If for example (the best example ive found) we were to take the design of an Aero Commander 680
- a classic plane in its self. It would take no time to revamp a model of that with moderate changes. Since the plane is kept in the air by propellers, we still need to add the Jet element.
This is the bit that i think is quite cleaver.
If it is possible, i would suggest plonking a jet engine directly at the back of the fuslage with air intake holes at the sides. An example of an existing 1 is like on a military styled Jet Fighter.
I have some plans drawn up (sort of like Artists impressions) and i will attemp to post them asap
Thanks for taking the time to actually read this as many will see its more than 2 lines and not bother.
Thanks again and good night - actually
goodmorning now, lol.
