360° Sightseeing Aircraft Concept

2,680 lowobservable  8.6 years ago

Concept for tourist sightseeing/luxury private jet. Cabin has an unobstructed 360 degree view of the landscape. Decent private jet as it hits mach 1. Features large all moving landing gear.
IMPORTANT - When taking off on full throttle, pull back fully on pitch, otherwise the nose could drop forward.
1 and VTOL up to bring the gear up (and in turn the inlets).
2 and 3 with VTOL allows adjustment of trim through either front or rear canards. (2 for front, 3 for rear).
Aircraft pitches down with gear down, but balances out with the gear up. Thanks!
