Fictional story:
The Tukan is a small passanger plane, built for short range flight and little space landing and takeoff.
Only a few of them were built, because it was almost impossible to fly it safely on ruff weather conditions, (because of that the pilots called it „good weather flyer“)
It was built in the late 60s and started as a small cargo plane witch flew between the islands.
The plane was called Tukan because it‘s colors and original plane design.
Other things about the plane:
This plane was originally built for the „Stol/Bushplane challenge“ but the challenge has 700 part limit, so it would be disqualified anyways.
I really like the design, but what do you think?

@ThomasRoderick, xD
that is exactly what I was going for, public transport-ish
When the engineers took the term "Airbus" a bit too literally...
@CrashFighter05, all ok.
@CrazyCatZe oh sorry I got off topic.
very nice!
@CrashFighter05, thanks.....?
But I know :)
This reminds me too much of my house. Wich is orange and has actual square windows. Not good at all. Needs rounded corners to spread out pressure. Terrible design. Bit this, this is good.
@EternalDarkness @Hyattorama, thank you!
@P0TET0Z, thanks!
Cool plane, very unique! Although I wish you’d have called it the “fair weather flyer” haha
I like it. Looks like a fusion of Antonov An-2 and a trailer house.
Cool! Even thought is not in the challenge, it would have been a good entry
