The WaspMoth was a 2091 designed family shuttle. Capable of intercontinental flights at transonic speeds the craft saw much popularity among those touching on wealth.
The plane is meant to be versatile and practical. It is amphibious, naval platform/carrier ready, and of course plenty capable of landing on most runways. The STAL properties of this class are quite good considering vertical thrust isn't used. These properties are such due to the fantastical CycloPincer jets in nacelles above the fuselage.
When it comes to a transonic propulsion method, they are a perfect choice. In luxury, reliability, and safety there is very little that meets the same caliber of quality as the WaspMoth.

No Problem. @ark3192
@PapaKernels Sometimes when designing future stuff I think "is this odd enough?". That's what I was going for. Heavy sturdy planes up front to provide only the necessary performance. The next revision released outside of the challenge will see more pleasing changes.
@NojusGindrenas Yeah I focused on light roll only. Since its civil aviation I figured smoother/slower was better. Thanks man. I'm humbled. I'm starting to love doing challenges.

Its Hard To Roll, But Its P U R R F E C T By The Design And Part Count Is Very Good!
@ark3192 np!
I absolutely love the looks of the wings! That shape is so unique and I love it! The only thing I think should be critiqued is the front pitch stabilizers, they look a bit out of place, but other than that it's a very beautiful aircraft!! Nice job!!
@AtlasAviation thanks! it was a pleasure to build. I think I'll build a version with an interior and some other features later. but that'll be released outside of a challenge.
Awesome!
