The idea is a static body VTOL design that can hover stable in the air, and also go at high speeds very efficiently with wings. Could modify dimensions as needed, but general idea, I’m unsure if there’s a major design issue?

    The major issues I could see with this design are:

    • the pitch is going to be really hard to control with two aft rotors and a single forward rotor in vertical flight
    • structural challenges with the wing since there’s a big hole now where the spars go through
    • depending on the type of fuel it uses, it has limited capacity in the wings for a wet wing and would take up a significant portion of the fuselage for a large capacity battery setup
