This is an unmanned passenger aircraft designed for fully autonomous flight and my first airliner craft. Its most distinctive feature is the seamless, windowless nose section, which replaces the traditional cockpit with a streamlined, solid surface. For navigation and situational awareness, the aircraft relies on a multi-camera vision system installed on the nose, wings, and tail. The design integrates elements from several well-known aircraft: it uses the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer of the DC-9, combined with the wings, nose shape, and vertical tail of the COMAC C919. Power is provided by aft-mounted propfan engines, inspired by the Boeing 7J7 concept, giving the aircraft a unique rear-engine configuration. Built with simplicity and efficiency in mind, the entire structure uses only 111 parts, making it a compact and functional unmanned airliner concept.
