Santoni "Edera Santoni" S34

30.1k Rondine  4.1 years ago

The Santoni S34 was a long range quadrimotor cargo plane designed by Edera Santoni, the daughter of Gianpiero Santoni.
It was built in Relia in short periods, as the body was a mix of lightweight aluminium and basic iron.
It had a turning door as its main cargo entrance.
Its wings could fold for better taxi space, and also to fit in tighter spaces.

Its 4 Fiat stellare 450 (radial engine) could propel it to ~430 kph, not much, but enough to sustain max cargo.

The plane was initially supposed to be a bimotor heavy fighter, but after testing Edera decided it was better as a cargo plane.

Controls :
Ag1 to Ag4:engines (1 and 4 the outer most engines, 2 and 3 the center ones)
Ag5 :fold wings (activates LiP (lock in place) pistons)
Ag6:open cargo door

    @Memri
    Сentral propellers polish the fuselage =D Make the wing slightly longer or wider the engines.
    17-25 percent throttle is enough to fly. The rest of the power is redundant.
    When opening the cargo door, is the rear gunner well strapped into the seat?

    But! Despite all this, this is a very cute four-engined plane :)
