A jetfighter!

It would be a lawn dart for sure. See the problem is that the weight of the aircraft has to be roughly balanced over the main wing in the "Center of Lift". Think of the plane as a giant teeter totter with the nose being one end and the tail being the other. Now the pivot point or balance point comes from the area in the center "Roughly" of the main wing. That is why on most WWII aircraft the tail is alot longer than the nose, Because the nose is heavy with the armement and engine so they have to extend the tail to balance it out. Their is noooo way that aircraft could fly unless the nose engine had directed some of its thrust downwards as well to lift that long beak. Still darn cool looking though. And very well done from an artists perspective, just not from an engineering one :wink:
