NASA WB-57F

2,311 Seanbon007  6.2 years ago

The NASA B-57 is a repurposed bomber from the U.S. airforce, which was origionally a British plane. NASA uses this craft (along with planes like the U2 stealth aircraft) for high altitude data collection. These planes fly above hurricans and get more accurate radar data, they have flown through volcanic ash to collect data and much more. Camera 1 for “infrared camera” (credit to BogdanX for this, I repurposed it from one of his craft) Camera 2 for research capsule, drop the capsule with AG1, and activate its partachutes with AG2

    Yeah, I’m really not good at making my own gears, but thanks! @COENTHETESTPILOT

    Nice! Just one reccomendation, I would suggest making the landing gear more realistic. However, just using the landing gear parts tab, it is the best that is possible without making your own.
