yay! A custom thumbnail
NO BETA NEEDED
note: i have noticed some problems with the plane, so please:
Upon downloading, please change the sideways traction of the nose wheels to 100%, change forward traction of said wheels to 50%, and change powerMultiplier in engines to 3.
The stats below is assuming you have made these changes. If you don't change it, that's ok too.
The RJ230-300
This is the first model in my fictional RJ230 series. I have been working on it for the past two months. It is a large regional/small narrow-body airliner that seats up to 185 passengers in a high-density, one class configuration or 152 passengers in a conventional two-class configuration.
Features:
- Fully functional flaps and landing gear
- custom wings
- Exterior details such as doors, windows, APU, pitot tubes, and probes
- Large 3m tall winglets for reduced drag and wake turbulence, allowing greater fuel efficiency and increased range
- Fully realistic layout of lights
- Large and efficient engines
- Trailing link main gear for smooth landings
- Registration number detail (N230RJ). Read it out loud. I am not a Shakespeare fan and I did not notice until now. November-two-three-zero-Romeo-Juliet. lol.

V-speeds:
If you want to change your ASI to knots you can do that in settings by changing the 'Unit System' to Nautical.
The following applies for 100% takeoff thrust at MLW:
V1: Wright airport 115kt; Yeager airport 155kt;
VR: 155kt
VLOF: 170kt
The following applies for MLW in landing configuration (full flaps etc.):
VRef: 140kt
VTD: 135kt
The following does not apply to any condition:
VFE: 10%: kt; 25%: kt; 50%: kt; 75%: kt; Full: kt
VLO: 250kt
VLE: 285kt
Controls:
AG1: arm ground spoilers
AG2: flight spoilers
AG5: ram air turbine
AG6: logo & wing scan lights (for use at night)

BUTTER!
ENJOY!
I have worked very hard on this. If you like the plane, please consider giving an upvote, spotlight, or follow. I hope this does not count as "begging", but instead a sincere request.
If this plane gets 50 downloads I will make a mobile version for the worst of potatoes out there

@WernsterProductions Why Do You Always Type Like This And Capitalize Every Single Word? lol
I see. I guess I was being simple minded. Thanks for explaining @FeiWu
@DPSAiracraft Thank you for the upvote and spotlight!
@SimpleSW CRJ700s only have short wings because it was massively stretched from the CRJ200. Plus, regional airliners isn't this stereotypical always-the-same mold, it is a plane that carries a certain number of passengers.
I agree, but other regional liners like the crj700 have short wings. To me this looks more akin to short or medium haul liners. @FeiWu
@KLM_747 I have a question. Your username KLM 747 but why is your profile picture an American 757?
This Build Is Spectacular And I Can Tell You Went All-Out Into This.
I Really Never Spent True Effort Into My Builds And I Think Today Is The Day To Start!
Very good! Your landing gear is especially well done.
@47parzival41 I KNOW they look ugly. Look, I tried.
All of them are due to either design limitations or oversights and my general carelessness. With the exception of the C250, all the planes were based on very old designs. The most extreme example is the RJ200 line of planes, which dates back to before I created this account a year and a half ago. You see, this account is quite old, but I wasn't active until 2 months ago. This plane looks bad because the nose does not curve smoothly (I had no choice unless you want to make passengers to crawl through the plane, and because the gear is too tall (also no choice because of the engines. Ngl, I resent my designs but don't know how to make them better.
COOL
@47parzival41 spotlight yay
thank you!
@47parzival41 about the takeoff distance, this plane only performs like this when empty (the condition of it now). If you add some weight it needs more distance. At MLW the plane needs half of Wright airport to take off
@XP hey, there is some dihedral!
Dihedral was never an option (reference to peace was never an option)
@47parzival41 I added gifs lol
enjoy
@SimpleSW To be very honest, yes. But this is just a small design oversight. The wings are too thin and that's why it is long. But the wingspan does not entirely depend on fuselage width; it depends on weight. As a rule of thumb, the wingspan should be about the same as the length. But some planes which have a high fuselage weight to width ratio (like double decker planes because it is twice as heavy as a normal plane) may seem to have long wings. In this case, thank you for your suggestion, but you need to know this is not always the case. This is a regional airliner and the cabin is supposed to be narrower, but it still needs wings that can lift its entire weight. I made the plane a bit long, to be honest.
The body’s just looks too thin
@47parzival41 Just don't use 100% thrust lol
The thrust is for altitude performance. I recommend using 60-75% thrust on takeoff (slightly on the low side to be realistic but still viable)
Also, I think it's wonderful to store the wheels and reproduce the propeller that generates electricity in the event of an emergency!
I think it's a smart airliner!
Good!
