Would it be possible to use various types of motors to build a form of functioning podracer? The more I've been getting into building, the more I've wondered but I don't have as much of the know how that a lot of other people on here would have. My thought was two jet engines would sit at the front with a housing that would support bidirectional airflow capability, similar to a harrier, using servos to adjust an internal flap to direct the airflow. That housing would also theoretically be able to house the speed controllers, maybe more, and have a rudder behind. The cockpit construction could utilize a motor that would only provide downward thrust and could house additional electronics and possibly an fpv camera.
Would the elements combined be too heavy? Would it be possible to program the internal airflow control to be tied to the throttle so the vehicle would go from 0 to hover to forward motion?
