My last and final version of the Stealth Plane, it's been really fun designing it!

I took notes from you guys' thoughts on my Stealth Plane Mk2 and how to make it more stealthy, so I made it fully electric, no heat signature whatsoever (adds to the stealth feeling eh). About the 90° angles.... no comment on that.

I had a few hiccups during deployment but nothing catastrophic, such as tinkering with Traverse Rate, forgetting to unbind the gears and having to extend them mid-flight, and messed up the rotors so they'd been spinning inside the whole time. All of those can be simply fixed on the next launch.

In the video you can see at altitude the rotors can produce \~1.1kN\*8\*2 ≈ 17.6kN which is pretty nice but it wasn't designed to fly that high. By flying low I can get up to 2kN\*8\*2 ≈ 32kN, allowing a higher cruise speed at around 110-120m/s.

Also, landing!

I've had a fun couple of days learning about propellers and coming up with ideas for the Mk3

Overall, I'm pretty happy and satisfied with my creation.
