Alpine Aircraft Challenge
Welcome to the Alpine Aircraft Challenge!
If anyone wishes to understand the challenge better
It's World War Two, and The Alpine Fighter Group is running low on airplanes to deploy! Their supplies are low, and only a few homemade models are available.
You are tasked with the creation of a Tactical Bomber, Fighter, Cargo, Interceptor, or even Night Fighters and Escorts for said group: However this is no normal place. You must make a plane able to operate from the Alps!
Rules and Criteria
1. The Aircraft must be able to take off from a 105m Runway and land.
2. The landing gears must withstand at least a force of 2.5Gs on landing in any kind of surface
3. Airplanes must be able to fly at speeds below of 110mph without stalling
4. Some form of collapsible wings are encouraged, but not necessary
5. Aircraft must be of WW2 Era, and can be both Fictional or a Replica, or mods of original airplanes
6. Build must be below 600 parts
7. Have fun! Just wanted to make some unique challenge
(Also please make it a successor of this post, otherwise I can't find your creations, and I want the clout)

Done
Here's the build
@AntiAirNuri understandable
e
@Ductwind589 and @JS01
Please have a bit of patience, I am working full time at far places, and I am honestly really exhausted. I need some time to recover

Okay, so the deadline has been reached 2 days prior by the time I post this comment.
@AntiAirNuri cool. Thanks!
@LieutenantSOT of course
Can I make a second entry?
I got an aircraft I've been working on before this challenge was posted, and I think it fits the criteria for this challenge, ill fix some small stuff and then post it
I got an armoured heavy fighter design on the works. Image of the WIP aircraft for the challenge
Its loading is currently 178 kg/m squared for a loaded weight of 7.4 t with 2 engines each having 970 hp.
@AntiAirNuri lol, thx
Good luck
@LieutenantSOT
And yeah, lol. Now to design it and find out how to panel it...
@AntiAirNuri Oh, cool! I was just curious
@LieutenantSOT Wow, seems like a very ambitious design 🤨
That's a very good idea though, I have only seen small and nimble aircrafts here! Go ahead
