CESTOL airliner
hi I'm Chesscube! this is the REAL result of my absence. this is a CESTOL airliner. CESTOL stands for cruise efficient short takeoff and landing. I've replicated this type of airline is closely as I can. Feature number one: short take off. Taking inspiration from the photo I saw the design, I have added the engines over the wings therefore producing more lift during takeoff and making it short. Feature number two: cruise efficient. Once you have reached the desired cruising altitude, reduce your throttle to 50%. Theoretically the extra lift from the engines over top of the wings and 50% throttle should save a lot on the fuel. I've tried hard to make sure that all of aircraft is high-quality. The color scheme of this aircraft is inspired by the Southwest Jets. Have fun and happy flying!

@JovianPat yes it's main goal is to reduce fuel consumption.
Could this be the future of air travel? Moderate agility, stable, and easy to control.
