Re: Britannian Aircraft
Well, as said!
I'm not too profficient in aircraft either, but I follow a very easy rule when designing/drawing my airplanes, something that APDAF could have use of as well:
Look a lot on IRL aircraft. When designing you own aircraft, take one or two planes from the 'bucket and start combining elements that you like from the,(no copy and paste though, try to draw said elements yourself in a plausible maner.), along with checking up the data of those planes. Just designing one out of the head without knowing a lot(I include myself among those who lack the knowledge)is really hard to get right.

UPDATED:
Added shading to the wings.
Moved rear landing gear further back.
Moved the higher wing forward slightly.

Essentialy I was meaning rather something like this:

Hum?
I have given a good looking over and while it is more aerodynamic and safer it's aesthetics does not suit the Empire's style I.e Gothic architecture and sightly blocky vehicles.

Re: Britannian Aircraft
style is not more important than 'does it actually work' ?
also, you can NOT take building architecture and apply it to aircraft, even less then that you could do that to ships.

I ask of you to prove me wrong. Not say I am wrong, but prove it, because then I will have learned something new.

Re: Britannian Aircraft
My aircraft would work as it is based on several WW1 bombers like the Gotha G.IV, Vickers Vimy and Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI.
Although it is slightly more basic in some respects.

That's a gratitude...
No. Your aircraft in it's initial form - with wings lacking airfoil and bicycle-type undercarriage without side wheels wouldn't even took off the ground.

Re: Britannian Aircraft
Oh sorry about sounding harsh I have issues with people skills.
I am not used to make something small so I need to get used to the scale of these drawings.

Re: Britannian Aircraft
Try a larger scale like FD

Added most if not all eswube's edits.
Moved Bombardier/Navigator/Photo-reconnaissance officer's window forward.
Added a 'Roundel' on the top wing.
