We were designing it off the cuff, and were confident that the wing loading was sufficient based on the advertised thrust of the engines. Unfortunately, it is not in a flying state at the moment, so I can't say for sure. We have done a few powered tests where we connected the fans to power and let the craft glide across the floor on rollers. It did so with ease. It might take a manual throw to get the craft into the air, but I think it would stay up and climb once airborne.

It's a bomber designed airplane.? The real one weighed 500,000lds and had six j93 engines pushing 30,000lds of thrust each. It seems like mission impossible. Even if ur building a bad#$@ model jet.
