FlightDynamics FD-48MHA
My latest creation, and my first airliner with cockpit, the FlightDynamics FD-48MHA. This is a medium haul jetliner, with 2 engines, 2 pilots and can carry around 150 people.
For a long time, I have wanted to get good at making airliners. My previous attempts were…lack lustre, lets just leave it at that…but this one I am truly happy with. With completely integrated control surfaces (Instead of having ailerons magically poking through wings), decent landing gear, reverse thrusters, and a nose shape that actually looks pretty decent for once (This was because I followed a 733 blueprint for it), I definitely feel I did my best to do this. I plan on doing some more airliners (Maybe even a replica), as they are my favourite genre of airplanes.
I have left instructions in the craft instructions, so refer to those.
Aircraft of inspiration: Boeing 737. This aircraft needs no introduction, but for any cavemen, it is the most produced jetliner in history. >11000 of these things have been built, and it is still in production.
I left an easter egg to a piece of Australian culture on the fuselage. Comment if you figure it out!
Enjoy!
