RJ Velox Supersonic transport 8.2

228k RamboJutter  7 months ago

Introduction

Well im clearing decks sort of speak, getting finished some builds that have sat around long enough. Here we have the SST that I started last year sometime, i designed it old school style without actual wheel bays etc. to keep the design part count / complexity down.

Britain/France had Concord, USA nearly had the Boeing SST, Russia had Concordski sort of, RJ had the Velox (a lot longer / bigger than competitors).

Controls

Easy peasy - AG1 = start engines, VTOL up = flaps, VTOL dn = retract wings

    Is this the de Havilland Conmet, or is this the BAC Comecord again?
