@djcapelis ahhh amazing answer. I love the lateral thinking though I'm unclear aactually on how you'd develop *differential* drag (hint)

@starsandrobots I mean mostly that you will certainly need it to land. :) -
@djcapelis if you don't figure out the riddle we won't need landing gear at all ;) -
@starsandrobots door handles? -

@djcapelis ahh hm I you might have won/been right here -
@starsandrobots I am surprised that is the intended answer. :) Cool!

@starsandrobots@djcapelis twin: differential thrust->yaw? single engine prop: reaction torque->roll? if doors open the right way->yaw? -
@argonblue@starsandrobots@djcapelis hmm... modulate prop rpm -> counter torque -> roll -> dihedral correction -> yaw?
