Inspired by the Boeing 2707-200 SST, The Boe 277 keeps many of the features but in a smaller package. The aircraft is capable of sustained supersonic flight with speeds of up to Mach 1.55 at altitudes of 20,000ft to 30,000ft. The aircraft utilizes a high power turbofan with an afterburner similar to what you might find on military fighter jets. The cabin seats 75 to 90 depending on the varient and is usually in one row of two seats and one row of one seat. For take off and landing it is reccomended to use full flaps. Once you're cruising, you can swing the wings back. Landing this jet is very easy and it is quite capable of landing on short runways. Enjoy this luxurious supersonic airliner!

Also, I take home the title of being the one with the least points to upvote this plane.
Speed, reliability, and style. This is exactly what I am looking for in a supersonic aircraft. Very nice job!
@greasytortle well if it isn’t big enough, it’s probably almost big enough anyway...it’s certainly not ridiculously small. Checkout my B-57 for a variation on the dorsal intake and wing spoilers.
@ChiChiWerx Realistically, I don't think it would be getting enough airflow to the engine. I don't know enough about the topic to be certain but it sure does look sleek and it works in simpleplanes. so I'm happy.
@greasytortle yeah, I will admit, it does look good
@ChiChiWerx thanks! I wasn't sure about the single engine either. I was going to give it two under wing engines but the one in the middle just looked so streamlined.
I may disagree with a single engined airliner, but this works! Nice details with the spoilers (wing surfaces on rotators will give more roll authority than the spoilers you use). Overall, flies nice, doesn’t have ridiculous speed or maneuverability, nice build!
@greasytortle It will certainly make for the fastest short haul flier that's for sure!! Nice work!!
@Sgtk I'm not sure how well this fits the catagory of "Short Haul" but it's something I've wanted to build for a while and it seemed to work for this challenge.
