Aerial Cruiser 2.0 II '200
So some of you guys may remember this leviathan of an aircraft from 1.7 years ago (at the time of this post), well I decided to modernize this 140 year old (in-lore) aircraft for use in the 23rd century.
List of modifications include:
-Rebuilding the WHOLE GODD_ Superstructure and panels out of Type 2 Carbex (20x lighter than Styrofoam, 5000x stronger than diamond, and has no drag)
-VTOL capabilities added (should make water takeoff pretty straight forward)
-Floats higher above the water (The lower runways are now available for use, even when the aircraft has fully landed)
Takeoff process(if you so please):
-Throttle up all the way
-Once you have cleared any obstacles, gear up
-off and away you go
Landing process:
-find an area with enough space to fit (easier said than done)
-if you are moving forwards when you find your desired landing place, Lower the gear and move the VTOL slider all the way down( this enables thrust reversal)
-bring it down like you would a helicopter
notes
-This aircraft is VERY slow to respond, so timewarp is your friend with this aircraft.
On to the specs now:
Price=$9,223,372,036,854,775,808.00 per aircraft
Weight=22540kg
Wingspan=41.8002km across
Top speed=locked at 270kph (Thrust cancelation takes effect past this)
ENJOY

I was just playing around with the tags
I'm not disappointed with what I found 😂
@CrimsonSquadron keep in mind in the universe I created, the year is 2200 or later, and earth is now not the only place with humans populating it:
There probably someone in the gallaxy that can afford something like this
The world is $303 trillion in debt as of 2021 and this thing is still over 3 times that.
@RedAndGreenAmongus the blueprint is actually there, It's just way out of range. I found it by making the image large enough that some of it was within render distance and then I moved the image around, finding the center, while making the photo progressively smaller
@Nerfaddict no I meant how do you see the blueprint in the designer when your using very big aircraft, I tried it and the blueprint doesn't render
@RedAndGreenAmongus It's just a screenshot I took of a variant made specifically for that screenshot. The screenshot itself was taken from a different aircraft i flew to a far enough distance to view the whole plane
How are you making blueprint thumbnails on mobile with gigantic aircraft I tried that and the image doesnt render
@Nerfaddict exactly
@SuperSuperTheSylph the aigaion is tiny by my standards
that aircraft is bigger than P-111 Aigaion
@WolfHunter9111 if I were to work on it full time, I would most likely finish it by the end of the week. but as of late I have so many other projects going than i even care to list (at least 10 or 20)
@WolfHunter9111 not yet, just finished the main wings the other day, and now I'm working on "control". currently have pitch finished, just need to work on roll and yaw.
@Nerfaddict really? Is it published yet? Just wondering
@WolfHunter9111 yes, but I have an even bigger plane in the works (100km)
Daredevil Intensifies
@Honkcart well actually, the "aerial cruisers" that I make, despite their immense size, are actually fairly light on processing power.
for example, this plane actually has a lower "performance cost" (basically how taxing a creation is on processing power) than some of my normal sized planes
@Nerfaddict yay, i can fry an egg on my phone now
@Honkcart I have an even bigger plane in production dubbed the "Ascension" class aerial cruiser, and it WILL have a wingspan of at least 100km
to the best of my knowledge, i genuinely think this is the largest player built aircraft in the game
@Honkcart
Y E S
this is one
W I D E B O I
@TigerEye35 I have a feeling I'd probably win by a longshot
Congrats on making a much bigger plane than mine, I wish we had a size competition for the biggest things ever posted.
@Nerfaddict oh yes i will try this, sorry for my delay XD
@CaptainSquadronLeaderX I have a rework of andromeda in the works at the moment:
-Only 10km across
-A lot of fairly powerful weapons
