Flying Warthog model
Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2007 8:34 pm
I recently received feedback regarding a flying warthog I created. The warthog has a Pelican's lift and acceleration physics, but can reach a higher speed and has a higher velocity than it.
What I created was a warthog model with a backseat. What I need is someone who can model the front wheels of the warthog to have a "wing" shape. Not a flat triangular planar shape, but like an airfoil shape. I did a quick draw of what I mean,

but it is by no means meant to constrict the decisions you'll make if you were to tackle this project. Wikipedia has much better images of what I mean.
I'm requesting the front tires for the warthog because they are the only part (besides the suspension) that "moves" (tire blur for the back tires do not count). I'd prefer it if these "wings" were made short. If you have another idea that would fit a flying warthog (for the front tires) that doesn't involve reducing the model size to zero, then please post below. Thanks!
