20.7k LonelyAustrianUhlan  3.9 years ago

The Fokker F26 was an early jet airliner design created by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer, Fokker.

Controls:

VTOL - Flaps (I was too Tired to actually model them, but they do work)
TRIM - Trim (although because I'm not really good they are basically elevator flaps)

The all-metal F26 design consisted of a low-wing layout with a 17-seat pressurized fuselage, a fully retractable gear and two Rolls-Royce Nene RB.41 series I jet engines. With a thrust of 23 kN (5,171 lbf) each, these engines were the most powerful engines available at the time. The aircraft was designed for a flight crew of three people.

The passenger cabin had a single aisle layout, with two seats abreast on the right and a single row on the left. A toilet was located in the aft of plane and there were two cargo bays. The aircraft was to be crewed by two pilots and one radio operator.

Based on design studies the F26 had an economical cruise speed of 800 km/h (497 mph) with a range of 1,000 km (621 mi).

If I would've discovered this aircraft earlier this would have probably been my entry to the vintage airliner challenge
