Jet Powered Swift Killer Bee 2

After the initial test flight a new 2 position nose gear was designed to hold the plane at a positive angle attack for take off and a negative angle of attack for landing. With the gear in the landing position, this ensures the aircraft will not rebound due to the high angle of attack at landing.
Due to the wheels in the wing-lets at the back of the aircraft, it must flown off the ground instead of a more conventional rotation, so the aircraft needs to sit nose high so it takes off on its own.

Duration : 0:6:9

With the current set up at cruise I can fly for probably 30 minutes, flying faster will reduce the flight time.
This aircraft is extremely efficient, unfortunately the small hobby sized turbine engines are not.

There is enough room in this aircraft to put at least 3 times the amount of fuel in it.
