When every seat is a wing seat

Description

The Asteroid Industries AS-153 Saspan (Peregrine Falcon) is an SST built for long-range, high-capacity routes. Its speed and capacity allow more flights between destinations, and as a result less aircraft have to be purchased and maintained. Its sleek design and low drag-causing pieces allow it to achieve well over 1000kts at a 50,000ft cruising altitude. It is equipped with four high-power turbofans, with the inner two afterburning.
Loosely based on this:

The nose is from my Egg Tu-144, which is using QingyuZhou's Concorde nose.

Controls

Act. 1: Landing gear doors close
Act. 2: Afterburner
Act. 3: Landing lights
Act. 4: All the other lights
Act. 5: Parachute for shorter runways
Act. 7: Pushback
Act. 8: Lock steering
VTOL: Flaps

Takeoff

Landing

Crusing

Note:

Land at about 15-20% throttle, and don't flare until you're right over the runway. Doing so will decrease your chances of stalling, but I've found that it's pretty hard to stall this thing. Also, be careful with the landing gear, as it is a heavy plane.

    Maybe, SimpleLandia's funds for airliners is kinda low (no lie (RP)), so once we get out cash up we'd love to.
