Newland 97-C Super Hauler

975 FlyHigh  6.7 years ago

After the Alaska-China incident, Newland decided to scrap its fleet of Atmoscruisers. However, this plan took a turn when Newland engineer Fred Wilkerston found a drawing of his 8 year old son. Although the drawing was supposed to be an Atmoscruiser, its mid-section was way too big. A struck of brilliance hit Wilkerston and he presented the drawing to the director of Newland. He was enthousiastic about the plan and within a week, construction on the new Super Haulers started. Sadly for mr. Wilkerston, his son was not the best plane drawer, however he knew a lot about laws. He sued his dad for fraud and stealing, and wanted a 6 million dollar sum from his father. The judge reduced the claim to 100.000 dollars, but this was still the end for Mr. Wilkerstons career. He left America and went to France, were he started a new life as cheesemaker. His son ironically died in a crash between a Super Hauler and a Midbury Fireball. This series of events was later made into a serie called The Wilkerston Paradox. Such an amazing back story for a cargo plane that looks like a whale.

    @Thederpingmemes Thanks for your feedback! However, I always try to keep my planes very simple. I avoid too many parts and complex designs. Nevertheless, I appreciate your tips!

    not bad but you should put fuselages on the wings and use more fuselages to make it more curbed and smoother
