Aircraft
Had made this a while ago, just went on SP again and saw the Vintage Airliner Challenge and remembered I made this thing. Sorry its not great quality but hey its a plane!
This is like a mix of a DC-10 and a Comet. My idea was this would be a smaller Comet but it still needed three jet engines because of their low power and reliability at the time.

    Engine looks like a Pratt & Whitney JT8D Turbofan, but except it is made in 1963. What type of engine is this? Turbofan.

    [General Electric C805 Turbojet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_CJ805) is made in Late 1950's, perhaps this is the engine model?
[Pratt & Whitney JT3D / TF33 Turbofan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_JT3D) ?
[Rolls Royce RB.80 Conway Turbofan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Conway) ?

    Maybe it is a Turbojet Armstrong Siddeley Viper engine since it was made in april 1951?
    de Havilland Gyron another engine from 1953?
    This General Electric J79 Afterburner-Turbojet right here?
    Pratt & Whitney J52 Turbojet ?

    What is the Engine installed in this aircraft?
    it might be a turbojet since there is a fuel ignited air like
    at the back of the engines.

    This plane looks great, but my biggest issue is the engine inlets XD. They look a little odd tbh

    Flies great, even when a wing is missing.
