amphibious airliner challenge

11.7k letsgofast11  8.8 years ago

when people stopped ordering twinkys the lack of cargo ships made amphibious air travel more practical than conventional airliners a few major arlines are begaining to express intrest in amphibious airliners you must build a airlires for their requirements: must carry at least 60 pasengers, must be quiet, must have STOL, must be able to fly for at least 3 minutes. (engine provided does not have to be used, engine provided does not require hidden VTOL engine) even now that twinkies have restarted there are not many orders

    Brings a question... why aren't airliners VTOL? (I wonder why Flight...) but is it allowed to make a SVTOL instead of a SSTOL (the first S is for sea)
