Monomuromets

202 MonsieurCoffeebean  5.6 years ago

In 1914 Igor Sikorsky's Ilya Muromets was a the first ever passenger plane, carrying 16 passangers and a dog from Saint Petersburg to Kiev, but in the First World War, it found another purpose, an even greater one. This model is the Muromets with her bottom wingset taken off, reducing weight, and allowing for a much more stylish look! With two fuel tanks on the top, this Muromets can fly for just under 6 minutes, while the actual one flew for 13 hours, but if you fill the wings (which never happened and never should happen) then you will see a much greater flying capacity. I just wish Simpleplanes wouldn't be so limiting with their fuel. Oh well.
