Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 Qantas

The Bombardier Dash 8 or Q Series, previously known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 or DHC-8 is a series of twin-engine, medium-range, turboprop airliners. Introduced by de Havilland Canada (DHC) in 1984, they are now produced by Bombardier Aerospace. Over 1,000 Dash 8s of all models have been built. The Dash 8 was developed from the de Havilland Canada Dash 7, which featured extreme short take-off and landing (STOL) performance. With the Dash 8, DHC focused on improving cruise performance and lowering operational costs.

I’m my opinion, this is the best aircraft I have designed so far. It has smooth handling, good looks, and a fun tail design. I had so much fun building this aircraft. This also took many hours of work, so an upvote would be greatly appreciated.
ENJOY!!!
