This may be the best thing I have read for the week.

 

Also Today I Learned how reverse thrust really work (check the second video down the page)

The engine, or rather the thrust reverser modules are incredible. To be able to create something fully functional using only paper and cardboard. A few week's work no doubt? Or even months?

If you read through, the guy said this is a multiyear project. heck, i think he took a month just to do the thrust reverser mechanism.

Also the cargo doors work!

Yes. And it comes with locks and levers. WOW !!!! Just wondering whether he strengthened the joints, as like all paper, excessive movements will result in detachment.

From what can be seen thus far, not aerodynamic at all ....... no wings, except the horizontal stabs :D

Might wanna block off the flight deck windows first though, to prevent even more drag. :)

 

I am waiting to see the landing gear assembly. With opening/closing doors and gear extension/retraction.
