A.46 Transport

4,052 fleia262  3.4 years ago

The A.46 is designed to be a combat air transport, with room for lots of troops and ample cargo space. I was very pleased with how the A.45 Norexon turned out so I went with the same sort of look as that, just a lot smaller... sorta like what the Norexon was supposed to be til I got carried away.

She is built with new and advanced turboprops. The exhaust chambers act as RAM jet engines, taking in air through the large intakes, and upon activation, ignited with fuel to produce thrust, acting as an afterburner, to allow her to cruise at higher altitudes and also to better enhance her ability to avoid and evade in combat situations. She is also equipped with flares as counter-measures.

AG 1 - Engine start-ups
AG 2 - Navigation lights
AG 3 - Anti-collision lights
AG 7 - RAM jets

For take-off, start up your engines, set flaps (VTOL) to half down, and throttle to full. Rotate with full trim at 180mph.

For landing, flaps and trim to full down, throttle between 45% and 50%. She can handle hard-landings and stabilizes forgivingly.

    @fleia262 Sweet! :D And I'll be looking forward to seeing the big monster of a plane when it's up. :)

    Oh, and a quick question, when might you do this massive triple decker since you told me you plan on doing one at some point?

    @fleia262 Yes, it still looks very cool. And I’m glad to hear that you had so much fun making this bird. 😉

    @Boeing777x I appreciate it. Not as big or fast as the last one, certainly not a tripple-decker, but I had a lot of fun making this one.
