Cetacea/Stone

The Stone is an experimental design intended to push the edges of airplane design. The Stone is an intentionally terrible design, using over the shelf products to destroy the original plane's already borderline airworthiness, creating a craft which is not by itself able to generate enough lift to stay airborn. Only through the liberal application of Unobtainium to the fuselage was the experiment able to go forward.

The results of the experiment were remarkable. The highly inefficient engines generate so much drag at full power that they actually slow the plane down. The plane manages to travel FASTER when the engines are left to idle.
