Hello All!

Welcome to my Cargo Aircraft Challenge! The challenge is, to create a cargo aircraft, able to carry at least 5000 lbs of cargo from Wright Airport to Avalanche. It should be fairly fast (<700kts IAS) and have cargo doors. Jet engines preferred but not required. Extra points for Features like Interiors and reverse thrusters. Fictional or Replica, I’m not bothered.

RANKING:

I’ll be awarding points for speed, Capacity, Range, and features.

REWARDS:

1ST: 10 UPVOTES
2ND: 5 UPVOTES
3RD: 1 UPVOTES

    @JamesG771 Yes that’s fine the engine is just a preference, and Its less than (<) 700 it’s as that’s roughly the speed of sound, and I don’t want a supersonic aircraft. When your ready, upload and I’ll rank it.

    @Pilot2659

    So I have an aircraft prepped and ready to go, there's a little issue though, I prefer using turbo-props for cargo aircraft, that being said; it hasn't got the 700+ KNTS of IAS but it does have the ability to traverse 5000+lbs of cargo 6050lbs ish before it starts to faulter aerodynamically, however it does work and it meets the requirements you put forward before (except the IAS). if that's okey and you're happy to waver on the IAS, ill upload it as a successor tonight or tomorrow morning.

    Many thanks :)

    I’d award spotlights, but I’m not sure how to spotlight a build, so credit and upvotes instead
