Asteroid Industries AS-46

My first plane with a cockpit (kinda)

The AS-46 is a large, long range cargo aircraft built to carry cargo across the ocean. While originally designed as a high-efficiency airliner, it ended up being too impractically slow to be viable. Instead, it was converted to the cargo role. The modern, sleek, and minimalistic design contrasts with the old-school biplane look, however it is a very good and reliable aircraft.

Controls:

Act. 1: Open Cargo Bay
Act. 2: Landing Lights
Act. 3: Nav lights
Act. 4: Interior lights.

Fun stuff:

Each landing gear has 5 shocks in it to make the suspension system realistic. I made this plane mostly for fun and might make a more serious competitor later.
