This week's challenge:

Propeller plane

This challenge we are going back to the time before the turbine engines in aviation existed, the era of the propeller. Essentially a propeller is a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust for propulsion. Although this technology seems to be outdated, it is still used worldwide. You can still find it in small private airplanes, commercial airplanes and in military aircrafts. The military even created a version with turning propellers to land like a helicopter. For this challenge all types of propeller planes are allowed. The propeller can be be positioned on the wings, in front of the airplane body or behind it (like on the picture above). Naturally the only rule is that your airplane has to be propelled by a propeller, no other propulsion is allowed.

Good luck ALL!
