Murphy Aerospace C3A1 Pelican (ACTUAL)

1,472 PhantomAviator  4.0 years ago

HERES THE ACTUAL PLANE, IGNORE THE OTHER ONE, IT HAS THAT BACKGROUND AAAAA Here's yet another plane I made, the Murphy Aerospace C3A1 Pelican. It's a carrier based cargo aircraft that can also operate as an AWACS or training platform, along with several other roles. No special controls. This is my first foray into huilding custom cockpits, and I'd say I did pretty good for a first time on Android.

    Neat little fact, I chose piston engines because of an incident where a US Navy cargo plane was taking off from a carrier and hit a rogue wave. Thanks to its piston engines, it was able to keep flying without further incident, but if it had jets or turboprops, it would've crashed into the water. So that's why I chose pistons.
