A.45 Norexon

The A.45 Norexon is a beast of an aircraft. The original idea was to make a cargo carrier / transport, however I got carried away and this is what I churned out: a monster of an airliner. She is fully loaded with fuel for very long distances (more than 50% of her fuel is in those fuselage blocks on the underside.of her primary hull, and may be reduced according to your whim). The direct purpose of this bird, was to combine all the little tricks I've learned over the several years ive been on Simple Planes into one, grand build. Keep in mind, she's very heavy, so coming to a full stop at 200mph, even with her brake thrusters and reverse thrust, on the runway without overrunning it is unlikely to happen. That said, let's get into it.

AG 1 - Landing brake thruster (brake input)
AG 2 - Take-off / landing lights
AG 3 - Navigation lights
AG 4 - Anti-collision lights
AG 7 - Reverse thrust

For take-off, set flaps (VTOL) to half down, engines to full, and rotate with trim to full at 205mph. V1 (point of no return) speed with full fuel tanks is 120mph, 150mph with fuel at 50% capacity.

For landing, set flaps to full down, engines between 40% and 50%, using trim as needed to stabilize descent and angle. Ensure landing brake thruster is activated; when braking her to a stop, be sure to activate her reverse thruster, as in tandem with landing thrusters make a major difference.

    @Boeing777x now that you gave me the thought, definitely yes. My imagination is running wild now.

    @fleia262 The pleasure is all mine, buddy. And one more thing, might you plan to do an even bigger plane than this one in the future, like perhaps a triple decker? Just a yes or no question. 😉

    @Boeing777x I did actually think that part thru this time. Assuming all economy config, she would carry up to 1,120 passengers, minimum of 10 flight crew persons, and minimum of 4 persons for operations including pilots, engineers and technicians. Im very happy you like this one!

    Nicely done. I really like this one. :) And quick question, how many people can this big bird seat in an all economy configuration?
