Pretty cool but the wing defo looks backwards 

[PR19_Kit]

It's either got its ailerons on the leading edge of the wing, or the fin and rudder is on the nose........

Picky, picky, picky!
Might be a new form of leading edge slat.

It's upside down (if you look at it carefully)

[Captain Canada]

It's a great idea to build it upside down and backwards, as it really hides the base plane to the un trained eye or non enthusiast. But with all the work already done he really should have flipped the wings. Unless it does fly backwards. Or forwards as it were 

[Dizzyfugu]

Or even upside down...? Who can tell? Still, a nice piece of work.

Wonderful! And more pictures at https://ospace.otis.edu/Rocketeam/coopflyer 
I will see what I can do to turn this marvel into a twin-boomer... ANd thanks Captain to have directed me here (the Notify tool seems not to work)

Hmmmm....?



But actually it's a "free for all":

[ericr]

Hmmmm....?

ouh la la

is it based on Ariane 5's?

[Dizzyfugu]

No idea - just popped up during web search. I even would not wonder if you could put some rocket engine into the center tank to launch them? Those "flame feet" look disturbingly like fins with serious aerodynamic value?

[loupgarou]

I too was thinking Ariane.
But the "flame feet" are intended to represent flames, or are fins? 
Just seen that the last one is Israeli. It's really a free for all.

Actual flying model rockets and the engines are mounted in the tubes with the 'flame feet/fins'.

Ah! 

Could become a GB topic, too - and in the end everyone takes a pic of the final work taking to the skies...! 

[Hobbes]

I too was thinking Ariane.

The Ariane 5 boosters have a nose cone that's angled toward the main stage. Shuttle boosters have a symmetrical cone.
