Hello all.
Welcome to the General Aviation builder boardroom. Today, we are discussing new and innovative ideas for the General Aviation market. Your task as a builder is to design a new and unusual design which is quite different from typical GA designs such as the Piper PA-28. For example, you could build a jet aircraft, go nuts. Anyways, that is all, so GO AND DESIGN THOSE PLANES!

RULES:

-You can have up to 3 entries

-Each entry must have the appropriate tags

-Your entry should be at least from the present (now), from the 1960's or in the future (not too far into the future though)

-Can either be a replica or fictional

-Must be a successor (let me know if this isn't possible)

-Your build must be original/your own idea (don't just copy someone else)

-Each entry must have a description that also has the controls listed

-It must be able to fly

-XML modding is allowed, but no mod parts

-I should be tagged in each entry

-The part count can't exeed 1250 parts

-You can have either a Jet, Piston or Turboprop

-Yes, helicopters are allowed

-Size must not have a length greater than 45 feet and a wingspan greater than 58 feet

JUDGING:

I will be judging each entry out of 10 based on:

Design
Performance
Paint scheme
Build quality
My impressions
Description

DEADLINE 30th MARCH 2020

(I will extend this if I need to)

REWARDS:

1st place: 15 upvotes
2nd place: 10 upvotes
3rd place: 8 upvotes
-Each entry gets one upvote
-If it's a collaboration project, the builders will share the reward.

Feel free to ask me any questions that you may have.

Here are some examples:

The Eclipse 400:

The Cobalt Co50 Valkyrie

    By the way engineers, you don't need to include the name of this challenge in your entry's name.

    JUST IN CASE: There is a size restriction.
    -The length of your entry must not exeed 45 Feet.
    -The wingspan must also not exeed 58 Feet.

    This is so your entry stays realistic for the GA category in terms of size. Also, I'm actually being quite generous in terms of the size restrictions

    Probably not, cause that's far outside what we are capable of at this time.

    Yeah, looking it up, the U.S uses the 'mm/dd/yyyy' system, while pretty much anywhere outside the U.S uses the 'dd/mm/yyyy' system

    @ND40X Dangit Me. I'm kind of obsessed with Britain (I know that sounds odd, but trust me, I'm not that odd). I should know that. Yes, I'm America

    @ND40X :) There is a bunch of interesting ideas, but mine apart - I can't judge my own works - and speacking only about aestetic, at least 8 of them catch the eye really well.

    One is not so pleasant but is unusual and more or less credible.

    A couple are not so unusual, but .. hey! They are simply amazing!

    I did not try every plane, so I cant speach about how they flies.

    You have hard work in front of you to judge. :)
