Also, low wing planes are much better than high wing ones. If you disagree, you're wrong(completely non-negotiable)
False. Different wing configurations have different advantages (at least in real life). High-wing is good for bush planes, STOL, and planes designed for easy maintenance. This is because of a good view onto the ground, limited ground effect (the wings are higher above ground), obstacle avoidance (ground clearance), and easy inspection and maintenance. Low-wing is good for high-speed aircraft and those that are not designed for rough terrain and/or STOL, and heavy planes in which structural integrity is a concern.
Please give credit if you use this axle or use it as inspiration.
I understand giving credit if you use the build, but if you make something similar, I don't think you need to give credit as you can't really own ideas.
@MobileMobileTheFriendly i guess you can have the big engines just for show, and then have xml scaled engines pointed down hidden inside? I'll try to get that to work and I'll get back to you.
@AirbusAerospace me
I can also help a bit with gear
The code is a bit complicated, so I suggest you just give me an unlisted plane and I'll get it to you
@AirbusFanA380 @WiiMini Aside from the other suggestions, this looks more like a super stretched A300 than anything else because of the winglets and the nose, both of which are instantly recognizable as native to the works of Airbus.
@MobileMobileTheFriendly I noticed taht you use the 8 forward engines during flight. This is unrealistic as the front 8 engines are only used to get the ekranoplan off the ground. Their thrust is directed downward and backward, which allows the plane to float and start moving. Then the rear engines kick in, and the front ones are shut off as soon as enough lift is generated by the wings.
if you need the gyro for flight, then you must have unbalanced the plane by adding livery decals. You need to turn off drag and make mass 0 for decal parts for the best experience.
@GRANDAYE @KangaKangaTheRoo CalculateDragfalse for smaller parts in the overload menu
Also, this plane is from Northrop, not Northrop Grumman. Use original company name that existed when the plane was built. (this somehow only applies to military planes lol)
@WiiMini @PolarcapAeronautics Chris has a point, but that’s only because the wings have a pretty thick chord compared to other airliners.
Wing aspect ratio is the square of the wingspan divided by wing area. Wings have two kinds of drag, but the simplified version of physics is that for subsonic planes, a lower wing aspect ratio means less drag, and thus more lift. This is why most light planes have high wing aspect ratios, and gliders, especially, take this to an extreme. However, the delta wings you see in supersonic planes like the F-16 and the Concorde have a low wing aspect ratio delta wings because of more complicated supersonic physics and handling.

@UltraLight As a late silver, I have done, or is working on, all of these except the full paneled fuselage, pitot tubes and lights included lol
I think lights deserve more credit. They are essential irl, so at this point I refuse to upvote any high-effort builds with no lights XD
But, to be fair, my planes somehow always look horrible.
@Cabbage17 sure, as long as you do it, and you do it soon enough that you won't forget to work on it lol
+3@Cabbage17 lol
+1@Cabbage17 can you make me a review of my updated RJ230?

@WiiMini what is that airport map you used in the screenshot? Or is it just a background?

go to the forums

@YamahaAddict you can only tag 3 users per comment. In this case, banbantheman will not be notified as he is the 4th one to be tagged.
@SavageMan ah ok thanks
@yamahaaddict build a Concorde
@SavageMan I did, but how do I make this complex shape found here?
@SavageMan how do I make the glass look good? (paneling inside paneling)
@SavageMan ok lol
@SavageMan and this was what I meant by the curved glass... definitely more complex than your CCX
@SavageMan I used blueprint mod, used the frames, but removed them for the screenshot
@SavageMan this is unbalanced probably because of the decals
also, can you take a look at this?
@SavageMan oh wow
@Highground
how is it going?
I mean, if you can't do it, I still have to do it myself

@KnightOfRen what about the landing gear?
@KnightOfRen Yeah the nose is a little too short, but the plane can still cruise faster than any other airliner currently in service so yeah
@KnightOfRen What do you think about it? also, 13 upvotes until gold lol
To whom this may concern:
I have built most of this while I was still in bronze rank.

@Lambobrothers
pull up that little activation panel, press the button labeled "3", and slide the slider on the left side (named VTOL) all the way down.
@MobileMobileTheFriendly oof
like I take 40+ hours for my pathetic rubbish
@MobileMobileTheFriendly so it really just takes you 4 days for all these planes?
+1@DefinitelyNotAnFBI I certainly know how to do the rest of the nose. Any luck on the paneling?
@Viper6 not to mention the CURVED GLASS... so yeah. The curvature of the glass is also very complex lol
I appreciate your effort, and I think you should rebrand this plane as a fictional build. This is in no way a 737. Sorry.

@ChrisETH ah yes
I am proud of all my custom landing gear
Only my RJ200 has stock gear
@ChrisETH what do you think about the build quality?
@ChrisETH cyan sus
@r1r1theusername sorry, but fixed wing aircraft only.
@Highground nice, and thank you
Also, I have a schedule to keep, but no pressure.
@AirbusAerospace can I be a tester for this plane?
There are controls for the gear doors.
