A rather sedate offering from the Wintermob Air Co. this time.
The Broadwing is a light passenger/cargo plane ideal for those short hops between places, especially if those places have short runways with limited wing space.
The triple stacked wings provide a lot of lifting power in a relatively small area, while the 'improved' Blade T1000 engines provide enough power to get the job done.
Enough seating for up to 9 passengers + a steward or 10 passengers.
Cargo area access is via two large panel doors in the rear.
Controls as per usual, flies very slightly up if left alone.
Fairly short take off run, it will get airborne very quickly at full trim, but get back to neutral as fast as possible once airborne, you don't want to stall.
This not an aerobatic aircraft all, loops mostly don't happen from straight and level flight, but it rolls like a demon.

Seems like I am taking lessons from the really old aircraft just now.
The only other aircraft I can think of at the moment with 3 wings is the really OLD Triplane from WW1.
*does a quick gooogle search
Yep, the Dreidecker or Fokker DR1, circa 1918.
Also found out something I did not know, there was also a Sopwith Triplane built before the DR1. Interesting.
