Airbus A390-1000 Qantas Airlines

7,395 OC3LOT1142  4.7 years ago

The Airbus A390-1000 was a unique six-engined, three-decked wide body aircraft designed specifically for the purpose of flying Qantas Airlines Melbourne - New York route. Since this route is considered to be one of the longest flights in the world, Qantas wanted an aircraft that was like no other before it, something that would provided a incredibly high passenger capacity, without sacrificing comfort for passengers. And Airbus did just that. Instead of redesigning a entirely new aircraft; which could take years, Airbus decided to use what they already had. They took the design of the A380, and reworked it to include a third deck, two more engines, a new flap system, and many other ammenities that made this aircraft Airbuses bleeding edge aircraft. Despite all of it’s incredible features, it came with an incredibly heavy price tag, and Qantas only ordered one of the aircraft.

Oh MAN this was fun to build! Spent a good 20ish hours fine-tuning the aircraft, and the result was definitely worth the time. I’m really really proud of this aircraft, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve put so much effort into one plane. And in my opinion, this is the greatest that I’ve ever built. I also wanted to let y’all know that this is probably going to be my upload schedule from now on. I’ve grown it seems very far away from SimplePlanes and the community, to where I’ve really only been checking the community once a week. But I will still every now and then try to bring my creations to the community, because that’s how we better the community: by creating things for ppl to enjoy. And sincerely hope that y’all will enjoy this aircraft :)

TL:DR - Put half my soul into this aircraft and I’m not going to be uploading very often

and as always

ENJOY!

    Pretty interesting plane, bro. Maybe you could have @TheXdimension32 or @ForeverPie make a more realistic version of this leviathan of the skies. I believe we're off to a pretty good start at making very big and very high capacity airliners if I do say so myself. ;)

    @OC3LOT1142 no, I mean the wing shape does not look like from modern jetliners. They should swing back a lot more. Look up some blueprints of a380 and you'll know
