NUNs Aircraft Challenge - Entry 2

2,284 Mickk  5.7 years ago

The pilot and co-pilot are preparing the plane for takeoff.
Pilot: "Nice of the people from NUN to provide an aircraft to transport penguins to safety, huh."
Co-Pilot: "It is an odd looking beast, though it is perfectly suited for the job."
Pilot: "Remember to close the ramp, we do not want those cages to roll out of the door. I hope the loaders tied them down properly."
Co-pilot: "Looks like everything is ready to go. Want to use the JATO packs?"
Pilot: "Sure why not, I have been told this has a pretty short takeoff using those."

Plane info: VTOL down to close the ramp.
AG1 for JATO activation/deactivation.
AG2 to drop JATO units.
AG3 for a surprise or to save the penguins!
Controls as per normal.

You may need to drop various things to achieve stable flight.
It flies better than I could have hoped for considering the odd engine and wing configuration.

    @SR71PLANEBirD
    Wait, what?

    This is NOT a copy.

    I would not copy the work of someone else and not give credit, that would be beyond wrong.

    Proof please.

    EDIT: Noticed two things.
    SR71PLANEBirD has;
    1. 0 points. ZERO.

    Makes me think 'troll'.
    I've been here three months and I've seen a lot of planes and I know I haven't even scratched the surface of what is on here.

    NUN's and Penguins go together.
    Ask Ted Bullpit from the show "Kingswood Country" about it. :P
    *Kingswood Country is an old Australian TV show made well before the 'political correctness' thing hit.
