NobleJet NJ-170 (Lufthansa)

see. off-topic at the bottom of the desc.






Please watch this tutorial
IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.) In the rare case of a fly by wire malfunction, activate crude law. You can find it overhead, in the top left-most panel square


2.) The "Flight Augmentation Computers" switch needs to be turned on to operate in normal law. You can find it overhead, in the top left-most panel square


3.) For more stable flying, avoid deploying flaps or spoilers while the autopilot controls the ALTITUDE, particularly when it is CLIMBING. (Spoilers will deploy automatically under the right conditions)


4.) Each engine takes 1 minute to idle/self sustain (If the corresponding fuel pumps are active), unlike the NJ-100 which took 30 seconds. Please be patient. You may also look at the N1 indicators, they usually Idle at just below 25% N1 (Again, it is important to have the fuel pumps on to reach idle or you'll just Motor/Spin at 14% N1)
BTW: The N2 indicators are just below the N1 indicators. If you know what they do in real life, it shouldn't be hard spotting them.

Anyways, just follow the checklist (In the Instructions) and watch the tutorial, then it should be fine! :D

Overview

The NAA NJ-170 (Originally the NJ-300) is a next-generation, quadruple-engine, wide-body airliner developed by the Noble Aerospace Agency’s commercial Airplanes branch, with advanced modern efficiency and automation. Drawing direct inspiration from the Airbus A340-600 and Boeing 777-300ER. The NJ-170 represents NAA’s bold vision of integrating cutting-edge materials to build bigger, lighter and faster.

Design

Size– Passengers have commented on how large it looks, with one passenger being quoted as saying: "It looks like a cross between a 777 and an A380", both massive, well-known jets in the aviation community.
Speed– In rare cases, the NJ-170 can exceed typical cruising speed. Pilots have commented on how you can see the clouds almost "zoom" past you.
Simplicity in Maintenance– echoing the A340’s reputation for easy servicing.
Efficiency in Operation– matching the 777’s balance of performance and economy.
Automation– Advanced fly-by-wire technology. Makes flying 10x safer and easier for the pilots

History

The NJ-170 first entered service with Lufthansa in October of 2037 on routes between Krakabloa, Xinshan Island, and Wright. Early operators praised its long-haul performance, low maintenance turnaround and surprisingly high fuel efficiency for a quad-jet.

Public Reception

The NJ-170’s blend of classic and modern aesthetics sparked massive interest at the 2033 Dubai Air Show, where it was nicknamed the "Sky Titan" in reference to its large size and intimidating nature when sitting on the tarmac. Pilots transitioning from older NobleJet fleets, like the NJ-100, praised its automatic handling, while passengers admired its huge cabin and panoramic side windows.

    @Boeing777x It was 600 seats without the galleys

    I'm back with a pretty good guess on what the NJ-170's exit limit could be based on the fact that it's 8 feet long than the 777X and has 10-abreast seating, and my guess would be that the NJ-170 could carry just over 600 passengers at maximum capacity, but I could also be wrong though. ^_^'

    @CaptainNoble You make a good point there, you seem to only build whatever you're interested in at any time, but no worries, I shall await your next big widebody, even if it will be a very long time until see one. ;)

    @Boeing777x tbh, I don't even know what I'll build next after the JF 17 I'm working on, it depends on whatever I'm interested in at that time. I built this because I got into this weird A340 phase which has happened before, lol

    @CaptainNoble Alright then, I'm pretty interested to see how you'll turn your 747 into a NobleJet product, assuming that would be what you're planning to do. ;)

    @Boeing777x A full A380 will strain my laptop, best I can do is a full 747-100/200, which shouldn't be too far off from the NJ-170. Eitherway, I don't think any of that is coming any time soon

    Anyway, since you seemed to have gotten your new PC, I wouldn't be surprised if we get the original double decker that could bigger than the a380 that you teased last month, and possibly even a triple decker, unless that one might be a bit huge even for you of course. ^_^'

    Sure enough, we finally got our first wide-bodied airliner from Noble Commercial Airlines, and I must say that the NobleJet NJ-170 here is looking like an absolute winner of a jetliner to behold for sure.

    Also just realized,
    Your NJ-150 is also similiar with his NA-150, both by naming, size-class, capacity, and even by looks!
    What a wonderfull coincidence
