Why does it have a propeller?

To provide thrust to fly.

But, but, there’s no air in space for the propeller to work.

Sorry, But this would be like picking yourself up by holding onto your
bootlaces. I’m quite happy with the bubble of air in a shield idea, but there’s
nothing for the bubble to push against which is what would make the airplane
go forward. All the propeller would do is make the air inside the bubble whoosh
around in a pleasing fashion, fluttering one’s scarf and chilling one’s nose.
And no, you can’t say the air pushing against the back of the bubble works, that
only moves the plane forward in the bubble until it pops out the front (or the
bubble generator keeps the bubble centered around the airplane, cancelling the
forward movement). Either way the bubble doesn’t move relative to anything else
outside the bubble.

But really. Not all air vehicles in the SW universe travel in space. The
primary mission of the TriWing is annoyance.
|
On this score, it’s been a total success.

It could also be used for medical evacuation. Just strap a man to each wing >
and off you go.

I’m glad it’s a medical evacuation, I assume this means strapping a previously
healthy ‘fig on and giving him the medical attention after.
| |
It’s also a good excuse to wear a scarf and goggles.
|
Which, curiously, your pilot ‘fig isn’t...
