*Disclaimer*
Luxus Aircraft and the LE-11 both fictional.

The Luxus LE-11 "Distant Eagle" was the first commercial aircraft produced by the Bavarian company Luxus Aircraft. It is a narrow-body, triple-engine medium-haul airliner with 61 seats. Many are used for long-haul flights because of its large fuel capacity. It has a top speed of 680 miles per hour and a flight ceiling of 50,000 feet. Production started in 1990 and it is still in production. The controls were very simple: throttle, yaw and roll. It is highly maneuverable and many pilots do not like its maneuverability. Luxus did not want to give it a number, but was required to by the FAA in order to sell it in America. I hope you enjoy this faithful recreation.

    @Cono9 It should be about in line vertically with the center of lift. You could upload it as a prototype and I could take a look, but I'm not an expert. I sort of got lucky with this design.

    @Cono9 You can use structural wings to make your wings stronger and add a primary wing to the end to change the shape and add a control surface. The subreddit is the forum for SimplePlanes. Click on the little smiley face at the top right corner of the page. You'll have to create a reddit account if you don't already have one. I go by LordofLego there, too.

    @LordofLego - there is a video demo on the subreddit on the new part maker. You should check that out.

    @WalrusAircraft I didn't need anything in particular, but @Me600 was wondering how I did that. I just got it from a subassembly kit, but I thought you would know. Thanks! What is in th update that will help with part rotation?

    @LordofLego - you need to adjust the X,Y,Z axis of the part in the XML. Do you need a part? I think the upcoming update will give you what you need.

    @Cono9 You could make a smaller version or an airplane inspired by it. I based the nose of this off the Concorde and the body and seating off the Airbus A380.

    @Vikdesigns Thanks! I'll keep making them until the airplane name generator I found online stops spitting out hilarious names.

    @Me600 I just downloaded it in a subassembly kit, but I think you have to go into a modding thing and change the rotation values or something.
