History:

After watching AlphaOneIndustries for a very long time, the Death Council decided we needed a cargo plane to be able to haul our troops from point A to point B. So they came up with this, the AAST-AOI VAC-361. It was created to haul very heavy objects, and was outfitted with 6 HFA-1027 Turbofan engines.

Testing:

During testing, the engineers ran into multiple problems, including tail-heaviness, slow turn rate, and stalling. The first 4 tests did alright, but the plane was unable to function properly. The last tests after the final version was created, failed miserably. The DC decided to test the plane on uneven terrain, and had pilots try to land it on the ground. Due to uneven terrain and a problem with landing, the plane, on both tests, crashed, causing the plane to bursts into flames, exploding. The pilots sadly did not survive, and the parts were barely recoverable.
