In This challenge you will be making airborne early warning airplanes (or AEW in shortened form) which are airplanes that can tell others if an oncoming intruder is coming at an early time (hence the name) here are the rules that Competitors should produce an airplane meeting the following requirements: 1. It can be fictional or realistic. 2. (Optional) Funky trees and/or XML parts only, if you want to, then you can. 3. The AEW plane can be from any airplane generation. 4. It must have some sort of device that can detect anything at an early time. 5. It has to be your build, and 6. The maximum amount of parts that can be used is up to 5,000. Each will be judged on how well they look and perform.All entries will recieve an upvote and the top 3 to be put into production will get 10 more upvotes on their other works. Good luck and Godspeed.(Another thing to know:Deadline is the 28th of June in 2021. ) Edit: if you want to join the challenge say “I’m in” or any other stuff related to “I’m in”.
Airborne early warning planes have been around since the early post cold war era. And most of them are made out of civillian or other military airplanes. I think that more Airborne early warning planes should come to simpleplanes. Good luck and happy building
“Useable and optional” Examples of AEW airplanes (these are just optional, you don’t have to build them, but that is your choice)
1. Casa C-295 AEW
2. Hawker siddley Nimrod Aew3 ( dat plane be dummy Thicc af)

Second time I have to say this(due to people ignoring it): your build can be a replica or a fictional
I’m going to be judging on its look and design, its landing/Takeoff stability, its handling, its preformance, and the overall score, the overall score will be seen on the leader board once the challenge is done. (I calculate the overall score by adding each number up)
The overall score will be any number out of 900 (E.G.: overall score:592/900)
Note that even if you get a low score you still tried your best, Everyone makes mistake everyone gets low scores on something you just have to rely on luck. If you get a low score that doesn’t mean that you failed it means that you tried your best OK. sometimes you might get a low score and you might end up being on the leaderboard. It’s OK all right no matter what score you get, you just have to try your best

@CatAircraftmanufacturer2 Not closed actually. Closes in 28 June
@pingxiangsmzy read the challenge rules, it says “ It can be fictional or realistic”,
Meaning that if you want to submit an ep-3e orion Aew, then go on, do it like a boss.

It occurred to me that I had an EP-3E that didn't have a disease
