Makes you wonder what the designer was thinking, 3 engines and the pilot right behind them? He would have fried in second, but this is fantasy, and the model is a very good making of something that only existed in a drawing.
All pod racers from Star Wars I are same case. Two huge engines infront of cabin with absolutely no protection . I read nice article about bad design (not visualy, looks nice, but functionaly).
But what you know. Maybe this are not jet enines Or it are jet engines with some added hi-tech scifi device to alter Newton Laws, so that you can stand right behind the engine and are completly safe
Maybe if he was really fast and moving upward he'd catch a little cool wind, but that's a hot ride at any rate. I love your use of found materials like wire, resistors and screw anchors. Keep up the good work, C-Girl.
