HUGE Thanks and appreciation goes to JohnnyBoythePilot for helping me with this build. Johnny redesigned the wings, the front end, the awesome missile defense system and a bunch of other little things that make this build so much better. I will put a blue link to johnny profile in the comments section, please visit his profile and look at his awesome builds.

The Manta Ray is a joint venture between Vonteco Industries and PAC and is currently one of the largest USABLE CARGO AIRCRAFT in the simple planes community. The aircraft is built around a massive cargo bay capable of transporting a variety of civilian and military equipment such as cars, boats, planes, helicopters, tanks, and import/export steel shipping containers, etc....

The Manta Ray is also capable of completing missions without the need for escort aircraft thanks to the missile defense system designed by PAC. The missile defense system utilizes a unique targeting system that allows the aircraft to take out targets from very long ranges.

With little modification the Manta Ray could easily be converted to a strategic heavy bomber or specialized air command.
