Planex Aerospace CAL-1

101k Wallaby  6.5 years ago

Worlds longest and largest aircraft. Not quite the widest wingspan. The CAL-1 (C.A.L.=Civilian Air-Lifter) is a heavy airlifter made by Planex Aerospace (obviously). It is powered by 6 Planex JP-1A3 engines (JP=Jet Power), producing 134,880lbs thrust per engine, for a whopping total of 809,280lbs thrust, more than the aircraft weighs. Rotation speed is reccomended 250mph at 60-70% thrust depending on runway length. Approach speed at about 60-70% fuel is 225mph, no more and no less. About 20% fuel is 210mph, no more and no less.

REFERENCE:

`15,000 feet.
Stall speed (0/4 flaps): 270-250mph
Stall speed (1/4 flaps): 260/230mph
Stall speed (2/4 flaps): 230mph
Stall speed (3/4 flaps): 220mph
Stall speed (4/4 flaps): 205mph

Approach speed (60% fuel): 225mph
Approach speed (20% fuel): 210mph

ACT2,3,4,5 for lights.
ACT1+Brake for reverse thrust.

TIPS:
`Rotate slowly so you can takeoff with as little weight and time on the buffer wheel as possible.
`Do not overbank, which is easy to do on this aircraft
`Keep changing the throttle input so you can keep your speed close to the recommended on approach.

Enjoy! :D
