Simple727

3,030 geek1love  2.4 years ago

The Simple727 is a low parts count replica of the Boeing 727-100 that gets close to many real world specifications such as mass, fuel, and top speed.

Controls:
1-8 - N/A
VTOL adjusts flaps.

Production notes: I planned to add more realistic detail and functionality: cockpit, brakes, windows, landing gear, and the rear door (a must have for a replica 727 in my opinion). I no longer play to update anything on this website because of its dishonesty about combating hate speech. This version is just the bare bones needed to get in the air and cruise. I haven't decided if I want to go through with detailing the entire interior. We'll see.

22/12/21: I've updated a few little things: elevators move with trim adjustment, flaps won't go above wing level, filled in many unused hollow spaces, and nose shape. I should have the rear stairs (50% done) and passenger windows done soon. The cockpit is daunting and so I'm saving it for last.

Have fun!
