Hello and welcome back to another KCA post! This took me a while because I have been sick cough cough but I'm somewhat better now!


History:
The Swift Wind was a very special cargo plane, because it's entire tail lifted up to reveal the cargo bay. Millions were made, but not as many as the Sun Chaser, because it was so loud. (You have been warned)


Stats:
Speed- unknown
Handling- a bit ruff, it flies, just don't use pitch to violently, or you'll crash
Cargo capacity- 70 tons
Engines- four blade T2000
Extra- lifting tail


Controls:
Normal controls, Vtol up for lifting tail and ramp. Custom landing gear work on landing gear button.


Design Ideas:
Airbus A400M atlas

T-38 Super Guppy

Antonov An-225 Mriya

Short 330

    This is absolutely fantastic! It looks wonderful and flies in a realistic way too. The nose design is great and the landing gear is also superb, but maybe make the tail section for cargo open slightly further back, that way longer cargo would be able to fit inside. Nevertheless, still a remarkable build!
