DV-1 "Skybus" development

90 Instinct  1.2 years ago

Hey there, since in not in hype at all around the community i'm proud to announce to my two followers that i'm about to post the peak of DELT? Vip Transportation and more in general of private flying, the DV-1 "Skybus"!

[ ! ] The name wasn't intentional lol, but after hundreds of tests the Airbus A318 is the best one to start working with. The main objective was to have a small jet plane with 50 seats, fuselage diameter of 3m, maximum length of 30m, high lift wings, STOL capabilities and a low wing design with engines underneath like a classic airliner, but also it must be fictional with a little bit of realism, and a suitable number of parts. Also, count that the whole thing will be made on Android

".... but give us a shape, how it looks?"

Basically as i said earlier it's the British Airways A318 "full interior no mod" (you can easily find it) but even shorter to fulfill at least the "Length=lessthan30m" requirement, Modified Embraer E170 wings (when stock they're slightly smaller than A318's, i only increased it's base surface to give it more lift), changed the cockpit instruments (put C-27J waypointMap, F-22 artificial horizon but kept the classic too, Compass heading, and more digital gauges), slightly more powerful engines, and obviously to make it STOL, BIGGER WHEELS and MORE FULL INTERIOR!

It has lights, seats,tables, food, cups, tv's, a fridge, a serving table, a compact medical bay, military computers (for Electronic Warfare and closed-channel comms) and in the future also a coffee machine, bottles and a bathroom

"About performance?"

  • Well, it's better than most planes with that size, let's do some math:

    • Takeoff at 180km/h (instead of 300 stock)

    • Very stable flight

    • Can land on USS Beast and in some tests can even make it in less than 400 meters (almost the length of Saba Airport)

    • Max altitude 20.000m (but for realism i suggest 14/14.500m)

    • 50.000kg aka. 50t of total weight (kinda realistic for that size and fuel capacity)

This plane is a pure hell of a beast, i can't wait to post it so you can say the same! But for now i only limit to give you a taste of its interior
