Planes : planes

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

@F104Deathtrap absolutely!

@ChiChiWerx Kind of looks like the xenomorph from Alien doesn't it?

@F104Deathtrap true, you can't drop out of a nose door! Some planes, like the C-5 have both, adding to their flexibility when handling, or dropping, cargo. The Globemaster, shown above, C-124, I think it was designated, only had the nose doors, but could also drop troops out of the side doors, but certainly not larger items. You're probably correct in your thought it was probably designed that way for aerodynamic reasons, etc.

@ChiChiWerx What you say makes perfect sense, but I was referring to the back rather than the front. Like a C-130, a tail door may not be as aerodynamic, but it does allow air drops and there's less equipment to the back of the plane to worry about.

@F104Deathtrap nope... even the little image icon that shows when you can't see one takes a while to load in

@F104Deathtrap it’s because you’re not limited by the length of the cargo. When trying to load though a side door, the cargo has to be able to fit around the “corner” of the door and the fuselage. Kind of like trying to fit a new bed into your bedroom when your bedroom
door opens onto a hallway. Nothing to do with CG

@RamboJutter Yeah, strange how so many cargo planes load through the nose. Maybe it's to keep the CoG from falling too far back.

The birth of a baby aeroplane. Born through the mouth....

Ok the plane on the inside doesn’t have its wings mounted on.

Eh, guys I don't feel so great y'know I just-BLEGHGHHAHHH.

@ThunderscreechEngineering True, and more creepy.

Mistel planes are accurate too

“Troop carrier” lol I don’t thibk so

@Gravity You can't see the image?

Lol

No pic?
