Nothing. This plane has no flaps, no folding things, no weapons, nothing. Except the landing gear I suppose.
Description:
The Curtiss T-32 Condor II was a twin engine biplane airliner with a maximum seating capacity of 15 passengers in an all-seating configuration, and 12 in a sleeping berth/seating combination configuration. It could also be used as a cargo aircraft (YC-30, CT-32), which it was during the 1939 expedition to Antarctica. That plane featured fixed gear with a pair of floats and skis used in order to land on water and ice. Several military modifications were also made to the condor, including a bomber version (BT-32) of which 8 were built, and one executive transport (R4C-1) used by the US Navy. It was the first twin engine biplane aircraft to feature retractable landing gear, and were used by American Airways as the "World's First Complete Sleeper-Planes". While not produced in large numbers it had a good track record and was a reliable plane for its time. It had a top speed of 190mph/310kmh at 15,000ft/4,500m, and a cruising speed of 167mph/269kmh. This model features mechanically linked landing gear, accurate control surfaces, an accurate livery and functional basic cockpit instruments.

@klm747klm747 what you thought I wouldn’t lol
@SimplyPlain thanks!
lol he actually finished it
This thing is so cute, it should get way more upvotes!
@GabrielFangster70 no lmao I didn’t get the idea from yours. I saw it listed in “airliners of the 1930s” on Wikipedia and I thought it looked nice. It could be converted from sleeper to daytime service. The DC-3 came out shortly after and since it was much faster and it was a monoplane, the T-32 ended up not being widely used.
@asteroidbook345 actually its a sleeper aircraft, the very first one of its kind, it would be the sleeper aircraft that inspired the making of the dc-3 sleeper aircraft
@asteroidbook345 im pretty sure you got ideas from it huh (not being mean, im just curious)
