T.A. 3
this is my third transonic airliner. On this plane i decided to return to the convair 990 design and that's why there are a lot of similarities between the two, mainly in the wings and the engines. This is a wide-body airliner designed to fly on medium range flights at the maximum speed of 680/690 mph. The plane is easy to control and it's very stable in flight even without the autopilot. The main important feature of this plane is it's security sistem for emergencies, in fact this plane can float in water like a boat in case of an emergency water landing, and it can be recovered easily thanks to a magnet sistem that can be activated taking the VTOL lever up ( before you actvate the sistem be sure to be completely stopped in water, if you're not stopped use the reverese thrust ; trim up). The controls are simple (VTOL down= flaps, trim down= trim, Trim up= reverse thrust, VTOL up= magnet sistem) P.S there is a problem in the airliner, the landing gear don't support hard landings so be carefull during landing.

Well done!
Ok@airlinerbuilder
@mrsevenfourseven well yes, i wanted to create an airliner with you're tail but in the end i get bored and i saved the aircraft even when it wasn't ready. But later i used the fuselage the i made with you're tail for my giant Flying boat and when i remembered that i used you're tail i decided to modify the tail with my pieces because it didn't made sense that my giant flying boat was a successor of you're tail with an electric engine.
Did you use my tail engine 13 days ago?@airlinerbuilder
@airlinerbuilder nice
I want to spotlight this but I can’t unless ur first
And your thing is only 300 parts so pls add the mobile friendly tag :)
But I guess people with potato phones still can’t XD
@captainhall oh thank you :)
@airlinerbuilder basically no downloaded mods
@captainhall yeah i was considering that but i didn't understand which mods are allowed

This is great! You should design a private jet for this challenge
