I've been making a lot of small fighter/commercial type aircraft lately and decided it was time to make something big.
I reckon this fits the bill.
I was trying for a 'Romulan Warbird' kind of look, but got this instead.
At first glance it doesn't look like much, but it grows on you.
No weapons on this, it is an Airliner, not by design, but because I said so. :P
No windows, except for the cockpit, this is from the future, so it has big screen TV's to simulate windows with pinhole cameras providing vision.
Controls as per usual.
AG1 for the chutes.
If the aircraft reacts too slowly for you, the top wing can have control surfaces added.
It is actually two separate wings.
Keep in mind that because of the way the wing is constructed,
when you add the control surfaces (pitch, roll) to the top wing there will be some oddities.
The flaps reverse the way they work, up becomes down and down becomes up and the aircraft behaves much differently. ;)
No idea why, I put it down to SimplePlanes Physics.

@Louisianaboy2021024 @5k meters, best speed is around 1060 knots, in other words, well past super sonic speeds. Pretty quick for an airliner.
Her 'sister ship' Peacemaker is capable of twice that at the same height.
@Mickk How fast can It go?
Updated version coming soon.
.
The next one will be a sort of sister ship to this one, but with a few changes/additions. ;)

Custom flaps as in separated flaps for the wings like on my Torpedo Bomber?
.
Doable, probably look pretty good too with a bit of effort.
.
Yeah, the wings were a bit of a pain to do, mostly the curves on the end.
Had to do a lot of nudging and tweaking to close up the gaps, but it came out really nice in the end.
Instead of weapons you can add custom flaps. Nice work in the symmetry wings.
Time for a little bragging I think.
This one turned out rather well and IMO, it is a pretty looking aircraft.
I have managed to land it a few times, but it was pretty close each time.
It is easy to come in a little too steep and 'bounce' it back into the air.
I should have fitted air brakes maybe.

Who wants a weaponized version?
I've had few ideas on how to add weapons and keep it looking pretty-ish.
