It appears that the aircraft cannot be stretched any further without a complete redesign of the fuselage. Action group 1 to improve steering on the ground.
Random notes about the aircraft:
1: The engines really mess with your sense of scale
2: This aircraft should not fly
3: The engines are around 4.25 metres in diameter.

That was perfect @WalkerAviation
Backstory: The Q-6-203 Grendel was a large military and civilian cargo jet proposed in the late 1980's by McDonnell Douglass. The design process began on November 2, 1988 after the USAF issued a proposal for a large cargo aircraft that could haul a payload of over 100,000 lbs. Because of the aircraft's heavy weight, it was estimated that a total of 26 landing gear wheels were needed to distribute weight. The aircraft would have been powered by four General Electric GE-90 engines that produced around 90,000 lbs of thrust each. Two different blueprints were made for this aircraft, the Q-6-203C and the Q-6-203M. The Q-6-203C was the civilian version of the aircraft. It would have a very basic design like many other large aircraft and featured a very roomy cockpit. The Q-6-203M was the militarized version of the Q-6-203C. It would a much more durable frame to protect cargo from enemy weapons and would have been fitted with radar-absorbing panels for stealth. Also in the rear of the fuselage, there would have been three 20mm Vulcan cannons and 1 20mm FMC T-160 cannon with about 7000 rounds of combined ammo. A test aircraft was ordered but the project was cancelled on April 22, 1990 in favor of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster.
@BaconAircrafts Thanks!
@Hyperloop thanks!
ah coolieo @Feanor
@Matthew240 Yours is probably bigger by a few cm and mine is bigger than the GE90 by around 0.846 metres.
haha, by how much? @Feanor
@Matthew240 I think yours are bigger, but both of ours are bigger than the General Electric GE90.
nice, i wonder which meninges are larger, these or the ones on my 777
@Pioneeraircraft1 Thanks!
@Benkelmans Thanks!
