I did what I could to keep part count down... but with a bird this big its not easy. Absolutely enormous, I'll guesstimate her passenger capacity no less than 5,000. She will include a command center instead of the traditional cockpit. The wings will be mounted to the spine up top. The pontoons open up (Activate 8) for auxiliary craft, I haven't tried floating her yet. Flaps work (VTOL down). She has a deployable set of small pontoons under either wing (Activate 3). I repurposed the hull of my A.52 Eagle into the pontoons here. And she has sort of a "Galactica" look that im gonna embrace lol

@fleia262 No problem, my man. I’m glad you figured out how to do a permalink pretty quickly there. 😉
@Boeing777x well how about that, I think it worked. Went back and did the permalink thing for the appropriate comment. Thanks for letting me know about that, super useful!
@fleia262 No worries bro. You learn something new just about everyday. 😉
@Boeing777x im so sorry I had no idea I can do that haha 😳
@fleia262 Uh, you do know SimplePlanes allows you to do permalinks so I can actually click on and access it, right?
@Boeing777x Here is the link that I used. I will say that this is from the internet, and I take everything from the internet with a grain of salt... that said, numerous characteristics of her fuselage align with the document. Also im not a legal expert, im a total lamen to this sort of stuff, so id also take what im saying with a grain of salt too lol
@fleia262 Well, I think you'll figure out what's coming out of the pontoons quick enough, mark my words. And could you send me a link to the fuselage shape patent by Boeing you're talking about so I know where to find it? Thank you. ;)
@Boeing777x she's definitely a big one... fun fact aparently Boeing has a patent on the kind of fuselage shape im using here. And I'm trying to get creative with her pontoons; they open up and everything but now gotta figure out what on earth is coming out of those 😂
Wow. Needless to say, she's quite a massive bird there. I'm really looking forward to seeing this big girl be finished at some point. She's truly gonna be an awesome spectacle to behold, I'll tell you that much. ;)
