Auto Credit Based on Rohan's Future of Flight Challenge! WINNERS ANOUNNCED

It's the year 20XX and planet Earth is overpopulated. In fact the available land is so sparse they had to reduce airport sizes. This led to all airliners being capable of VTOL. Takeoff at around 50% throttle. 6 VTOL engines will provide you with plenty of power. This plane actually isn't too hard to take off and land vertically, but if you'd like to land it like a normal airliner that works fine too. (Oh, and in the future it was decided planes should look cool)

    Amazing! VTOL is very stable, it's easy to land, it's also flyable after I break a wing!

    @Delphinus I have checked with Rohan and he said that he could make an exception for this plane

    @Delphinus or edit the xml file. It is now a successor to the right plane. You might have noticed that your rating disappeared, that's because this is a new upload.

    @Delphinus it was meant for this challenge, the upload had issues and wasn't a successor to the challenge.
