QC-4 "Whale Pie"

146k Feanor  7.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Feanor's QC.4 Sky Whale

Role: Airborne radar system (Big brother is watching you)
Type: Converted civilian airliner/freighter
Engines:4X Q-90 ADV Turboprops
Range: medium
Max takeoff weight: 200,000lbs (Weights above untested)
Max landing weight: Max takeoff weight.
Instructions:
The VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch.
The trim slider controls the trim. Activate group 1 and is controls the flaps as well.
Notes:
Nobody will miss a flying whale. So some missiles were "attached".
interchangeable parts were a wonderful idea. Here, we can see parts from the Q-11, the Q-15, the grendel and the ever present Losgar class airship. Also, I stole the engines from the QC.1 prototype.
It is possible to continue flying the aircraft with one wing removed from the tip to just after the inner engine. Please do not try this at home. For one, the plane is too large.
