The PrimeHold was a 2040s military cargo plane using 4 Buster Starflower propfan engines. It was a king in efficiency and capacity. The craft was top of the line at the time of creation and saw no corners cut. This vehicle saw wide success leased to other nations to bulk up their medium/heavy material hauler fleets. A classic. AG1 and VTOL down is door.

2090’s? @ark3192
Ummmm... @ark3192
@NojusGindrenas yes I'd love to. I'm in. That being said I know it doesn't seem to be stated in your description, but can you give an idea of how futuristic you're wanting to see? 2030s? 40s? 50+?
Hi, Would You Like To Enter My Futuristic General Aviation Challenge? @ark3192
All right, thanks! @ark3192
@Cabbage17 You are welcome to make whatever modifications you would like. I actually planned the things you found to be inadequate. The idea was that the starflowers were advanced enough that they didn't need to be scaled to the engine sizes we see today. This is the future as you said. The wings were similarly mulled over. Intention in universe was to have as little drag as necessary while still providing great lift. Airfoils are airfoils however. Feel free to swap out what you wish. I only ask that it be made a successor.
Thank you for participating in the challenge @ark3192!
First off, I love the engines, but they are out of proportion in relation to the rest of the aircraft. The aircraft is rather large and a the wings and tail look a bit odd. However, this is the type of thing I was looking for! Something never seen before, realistic yet unique. With your permission of course, I would like to make some changes. If you allow it, I plan to put the edited version into service as Altrial’s primary large sized cargo aircraft, hauling tanks, troops, supplies, and other cargoes vital to the defense of Altrial.
Thank you again for your participation.
