the first iteration = essentially chinese dragon kite
-
You know you have to build a LARGE flying dragon now, don't you?
-
People in the first car would be scared to death, while everyone vomiting in the last car would welcome death
-
"...and the motor fell off" is something i feel like we shouldnt hear that much, but is definitely a common occurrence in this hobby 😂
-
You should make a V2 where the carriages can be released individually and each one is a glider controlled by a different person! Love the channel
-
I think the main problem is caused by connecting the carriages together from the front and back, this sets up the pitch feedback loop instability, where the leading carriage pitches up pushing the following carriage nose down etc along the line. If instead you connected them from CG to CG down each side, like a team of horses pulling a carriage, they would follow each other without inducing the pitch oscillation.

Birds use their tail feathers for drag. Add a parachute at the end. You probably don't need any wings on the passenger cars, since the u-joints will keep them oriented similar to the engine.
-
As a mechanical engineer, I have only one recommendation; add springs and dampers! I think the swaying can easily be mitigated with some damping, while not losing the train-like flexibility.
-
Train kids and plane kids can set their differences aside to appreciate this video in harmony.
-
If the cars break away, have a set of mini wings pop out, that pitch the nose up slightly, for a glider to the ground. The pin release could retract into the first car, spring activated, that controls the wings…

My therapist: Terrifying spinal bone dragons aren't real. They can't hurt you. Peter Sripol:
-
I love the idea of a plane pulling a second carriage, touching the runway at some place, discarding the carriage and then just continuing on to another destination
-
You could make a pretty cool Asian dragon plane with this kind of design
-
Now make a flying submarine 😂
-
This was awesome and hilarious! Fantastic job dropping the cars right on the camera!
-
The challenge would be landing it back onto the train tracks.
-
From towing trailers I know that drag is actually your friend. The more aft drag the cars supply, the more stable your tow vehicle is. Consider adding a little aft weight, countered with a larger wing, for the "caboose." Or even try a small motor on the very last car that has reverse thrust. All you want is enough to keep the trailer behind you. From the video, it appears that each individual car has is own CG, so making these changes should not hurt too bad. You may also find that overall the plane needs to be heavier with bigger engines. Add length to your cars to reduce your oscillation. Make them twice as long. It won't solve all the oscillation issues, but it may settle some.

I love what Sripol Industries have come up with this time! Flying train, heck yeah! It moves a bit like those dragons over at cultural Chinese displays.
