The last of the propliners like the Boeing 337, Lockheed Super Connie, Douglas DC-7, ect. were all about passenger comfort, not packing as much people as they can like sardines. I mean a lot of modern airlines these days have fantastic first-classes like Emirates, Delta, ect. but there are a still a few airlines that have comfortable seats even in economy, such as Alaska and Jetblue. The last time I flew on an airline was about 9 years ago when I was in 2nd grade. I flew on a Horizon Air CRJ700 from Seattle to Portland at 4 AM in the morning. From what I can remember it was a great flight. Now that was my last airline flight, I've flown a couple of times recently with a friend of mine in his homebuilt Murphy Rebel.
@Hammy125 This is the designer I use. I actually build my airplanes in the default grey designer, but when I upload a high-quality build, I use this designer for the screenshots.
@KerlonceauxIndustries
Lol. When I look back, I wish I raced this plane instead of the black phantom. The black phantom could have easily been used in a non-modded race since its a basic design, but the Red Vixen relies on modded parts. The next modded tournament I'll definitely race this beauty. Also thanks for the upvotes and spotlights!
@Texasfam04
No problem! I surpassed you on points so I decided to spotlight one of your builds. The missile defense system was kind of inspired by the P-1112 Aigaion's cruise missile system and the CFA-44 Nosferatu's ADMM missile pods. Realistically the missile itself can only track targets above the aircraft because the seekers/radars on the missiles are exposed at the top. To achieve all-around locking capability, a sophisticated radar and sensor network covers all aspects of the plane. The main radar is at the top, another is at the front, and so on. At least one radar or sensor is at every side of the plane. This sophisticated radar+sensor system aids the missile to achieve all-around lock.
Sure go ahead and make whatever variant of the Manta Ray. I don't think the Manta Ray could launch manned fighters, but they could probably launch drones, especially a flying-wing drone. With drone launching capability, and the ability to launch a barrage of missiles offensively and defensively, it's pretty much an arsenal ship (Ring any bells?).
@Texasfam04
Again thanks! I actually did a bit of research on airline travel in the 40's and the lounge, amenities and all the passenger comfort on the P7 was inspired by the interior of the Boeing 337 Stratocruiser.
@Texasfam04
Thank! I still have 3 variants left to make and that's just for the A model. The samson still has a bomber variant, gunship variant, and a smuggler's variant (smuggler challenge) that are still yet to be made. Not to mention I still have other designs from my other fictional companies that I need to make as well. Also thanks for the spotlight and upvote!
The C7 is a tough cookie and is hard to break especially hard landings or even a collision. Strangely, if the C7 gets shot at by a fighter and a piece of the wing gets hit and destroyed, the whole wing completely shatters. It's really strange. Maybe is from all the fuel the wings carry? (both the wings and the wing fuselage panels carry fuel)
@Texasfam04
Sure thing! I'll tag you for the airliner and smuggler variants. After the two variants I'll also be working on a bomber and a gunship variant of the C7.
@EpicPigster1
The C7A Samson was my first design where I went all out with features and high detail, including custom landing gear and a fully detailed cockpit as well as an interior. I'm working on a night fighter that will be my first fighter aircraft with a detailed cockpit.
@BACconcordepilot
Yea. Since all my latest airplane designs have full cockpits with test dummies in them as pilots, you could judge the airplane's scale base on if a human was placed instead of the test dummy. I probably shouldn't be worrying to much about the C7, after all it actually would be slightly longer compared to the C-130 and have a bigger wingspan.
@BACconcordepilot
Thanks (About the blocks) but I already knew about the info tab in the designer. I guess I ignored it and got too caught up in just building it. I have another problem, a new fighter I'm working on, the P8 (night fighter/interceptor) is also at the same scale as the C7 (It's not the C7's size, it's build according to the scaling of the C7). I'm too far in the build on my new fighter to re-build it at a smaller scale. I'll just have to live with 2 of my designs being bigger than normal. For now on I'm building my designs according to the scale of the Test Dummy.
@Irobert55
Hypersonic is a bit overkill. At least Mach 3 for my ideal superfighter. One thing to note, the F-22 and B-2 had stealth coated onto their structure. The F-35 uses composites with the stealth "baked" into the structure panels. Basically, the F-35 doesn't need expensive hangars like the F-22 and B-2. It's stealth coating won't shed at high speeds, and the F-35 can withstand much tougher environmental conditions compared to the F-22 and B-2, thanks to the stealth being baked into the skin/structure.
@BroAeronautics
lol. The drone could easily fair well without the bomb, but part of the requirements for the target drone were to have a huge explosion when shot down. But who can complain? It makes a great glide bomb and cruise missile!
Military aircraft, even transports just have an aggressive but charming tone to them, especially on simpleplanes. Civilian aircraft can be quiet boring here on simpleplanes unless they have an incredible amount of detail.
My ideal weapon is a super-fighter that features incredible avionics and radar, and near-hyper sonic speeds with insane maneuverability, stealth features also in mind. However the fighter would be optional manned, and instead of windows would feature cameras like the ADF-01 FALKEN, minus the COFFIN flight controls feature. When unmanned, it could either be controlled by an AI or a ground based operator that is inside a full-motion representation of the cockpit, so the pilot would get a feel of the fighter, minus the G-forces. That is my ideal super-fighter.
@Strikefighter04
Thank you!
@KerlonceauxIndustries
Oh nice you've flown on a 777.
Well I was just a small kid when I flew on the CRJ700, so of course there was plenty of room, but nowadays I'd probably be a bit cramped.
And thanks about the compliment! I should actually make a replica of it in Simpleplanes.
@Hammy125
Np!
Thanks @Empanadinho!

It's actually a 1940's cabin, inspired by other aircraft like the Boeing 337 and Lockheed Connie.

Here is the P7A airliner @Texasfam04.

Oh yea I'm uploading the P7 Airliner tomorrow in the morning. keep an eye out for that!
Nice, rugged design! Makes a great competitor against my C7A Samson!
@Stellarlabs
Lol had that happen to me a couple of times.
@destroyerP
Yes those are just as deadly...
@Texasfam04
Sure thing! I'll tag you for the airliner and smuggler variants. After the two variants I'll also be working on a bomber and a gunship variant of the C7.
@Texasfam04
I'm definitely using the C7. I'm busy wrapping up the P7 Airliner but when I complete it I will work on the smuggler variant of the C7.

How is it useless? The enemy can't detect you, and your moving at a high rate of speed.

@Fluffiboo
Thanks! I could have made a real target drone, all detailed and all, but I kept it incredibly simple so it has a high chance of spawning.
This one is really cool! I like the shape reversal that makes it sort of see-through.
@Fluffiboo
No problem!
Double Wow. 250!
