Tube Phlyer (Small Jet Passenger Aircraft)

405 ZitadelzX  2.7 years ago

An aircraft with unusual fuselage layout design. Can seat 10 passengers and 1 pilot. Powered by 2 Blasto J15 engine.

Works like any other normal plane. But it has very poor flight performance, underpowered engine, unwieldy control, can stall easily even with and without gyroscope, and has a non-retractable landing gear.


Fictional Backstory

"Cheear Fly 11" was designed and manufactured by a famous design bureau called "Tubee". It was made to be a short range scenic jet airliner for tourist that want to see some beautiful scenery. Because of the environmental related regulations, the majority of the plane was built from a latest environmentally friendly material called SSRCB or Systhetic Strengthen Recycled CardBoard.

However, because of its poor and unreliable flight performance, underpowered engine, unwieldy controls, and the fact that it will go into an uncontrollable stall if any system onboard failed. It was considered to be unsafe to fly by the NTSB.

All but one Cheear Fly 11 are either destroyed or seized by the aurhority. The one surviving was an early prototype nicknamed "Tube Phlyer". It was adopted by an unknown group of researchers. The aircraft's ability to fly stably at a slow speed and low altitude is perfect for conducting experiments, observing the environment, and transport equipments around various island in the Wright Island and Krakabloa Island area.
