While constructing the winch retrieval system on this battleship, one of the two magnets would fall off, even after being properly attached. I tested this out three times before launching this on SimplePlanes.com, but there is always a possibility of that happening.
Aircraft Retrieval and Cranes
The method I put was the easiest possible way in my power to set up aircraft retrieval. It would be a span of about 30sec - 4min to recover the single-use reconnaissance jet plane and was very complex as well. I might refit this later, so please give me recommendations.
That. Freaking. Rudder.
I tried tips given to me via others who made warships (put ReactonControlNozzles in the hull to adjust to yaw) but this ship just keeps drifting... again, recommendations and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Airplane itself
I found a pretty big issue with recovery of the aircraft and moving my battleship; if I accelerated the throttle, the plane would shoot off into the distance. So I added two detachers on each side of the plane and put the jet engines on them. Somewhat worked and de-complicated recovery by something like a factor of 10...
@CreeperOfTheFortress Lol. It’s a 747 that has a wingspan that stretches off the boundaries of Wright Airport’s runway... If you can’t find it, I’ll provide a link.
How the hell do people build helicopters in such good fashion?? All of mine are pure s*... (one is legit just made out of 20gallon fuel tanks and two rotors) Maybe I'll download this... If I get any good ideas out of this, I'll upvote.
I came upon it out of nowhere... After a random flight on my 747 at heading 22* to 36* or something, I did a test landing at Avalanche Airport before I made my way to the Ice Base.
I'll be honest here... I didn't really use this vehicle specifically... (instead, I use one of my VTOL supersonics to kamikaze straight through the roof of the base. Worked anyway) but I'ma try it out with this now...
OwO This seems real cool!
I actually built a 747 on a much larger scale; think you can tell me how to build speed-breaks? (You can download the 747 as I already posted it.)
Wooooowwwww... This is really cool! I actually built a 747 as well, only this was based on mobile with only 200+ parts... Still, the scale is amazing. How's my model? Just wondering where I can improve.
This is the most complex project I have ever strived to make. It is beyond anything I have tried before it, even the carrier or battleships.

This aircraft does have an issue with slowing down upon landing, so be warned... this explains the many, many VTOL jets all over the engines and trailing wings.
The Boeing 2707 was the United States's attempt to counter the Soviet Tupolev 144 and the British/French collaboration with the Concorde. The US dropped out of the race because of issues with construction. The Russians had two major accidents with their aircraft, and dropped out too. The only one left was Concorde, who dropped out because of a major accident in French territory.
I forgot to make my model a successor, but it has folding wings, 6... no 7... guns, and a single turboprop at the front. And it has a landing hook to grab the landing cables.
@MediciAviation243 Well, I made a more upgraded version... I created a 747 with a bigger fuselage, fuselage block wings, and bigger landing gear. Better range, too.
@drgunblood And yet, I'm opting for better... I successfully managed to make a flying 747 prototype that doesn't crash (lol) and I'll try remaking this.
A small issue I found though... when I detach the micro fighters, the guns deactivate. So I couldn’t shoot anything...

Instructions:
Main Battleship
{Throttle} Forward motion.
{Brake} Backwards motion (reverse).
{Activation Group 1} Propulsion, Main Gun artillery.
Aircraft Retrieval
{Activation Group 3} Both cranes on each side.
{Roll} Winch that lowers and raises magnet.
{VTOL} Crane rotation.
Aircraft itself (only one operational, actually)
{Activation Group 5} Detacher
{Activation Group 6} Parachute and Retrieval Magnets on the aircraft.
{Roll, Pitch, Yaw} Controls of the aircraft.
I ended up making a MUCH BIGGER version of this in the end.

With a 747...@stevemc01
Lol. I just ram it.@CreeperOfTheFortress
@CreeperOfTheFortress My 747:
D: !!!!
me adds a cannon
747: :D
I tried this out and my 747 can deal with this threat... Don’t worry guys, we’re saved!
What the hell is this...?
Wow!
I tried it and it's very maneuverable, versatile, and multi-use.
It’s really cool. My only suggestion is to smack some Countermeasues on...
:D
Like I said, really good plane. :D
@WernsterProductions Simply fix it and repost. Probably delete the original... but I think it’s still good. Just a little fix.
Besides that, very good airplane. :D
I don’t want to burst your bubble, but uhh... one of the floats falls off upon takeoff...
Holy Jesus...
This is really cool. :D
I made a 747 before this one, but I don't think size can compare...
@thecrusader I built battleships and was able to fix this.
This is the basic concept: use thin strips of fuselage blocks on each side of the ship running from bow to stern.
To get more detail on that, try downloading my latest model on the USS New York (there are 4 prototypes; choose the most recent one).
Reminds me of an Airbus 340...
@thecrusader Several months later and I'm just realizing this...
Looking back, I realize I made 747s with well over 600 parts only for a bigger plane to come in with about 33% of that amount.
OwO This seems real cool!

V1: About 155knts
VLOF: 203 knts
VREF: 199 or so (with flaps fully extended to 20*) knts

@stevemc01 Ok. Now it will be a reality.
Why did I make this??
I'm building a 747 model... yes, again. Good job on all of this!
F for your tablet...
I have a 747 prototype I recently built. Even I struggled with making a wing with fuselage blocks... try downloading it; you may learn a lot...
Nah man it's ok. I used to SUCK at fuselage blocks, but overtime, I improved. Sure you'll do the same as well. :)
Little tip:
Try downloading my latest 747 prototype. You can see how I built a lot of it.
That's what USS means: United States Ship.

You've been gone for a while now...
Nice thumbnail, by the way.

@UFNNICF5TF Lol. It's a meme.
Oh god. I wanna know first: how fast can you get this thing to go?
My iPad: HAVE MERCY, PLEASE!!
Me: There is no mercy.
downloads a SimplePlanes vehicle with 200+ parts
Why are there three parts?
@ZackAttack5050 I figured out how to do it...
Me:
"how bout i do anyway?"
goes above 4000mph
I made a nosedive with this thing and was able to hit 1163 knts max... (lol took about 83000ft to reach that kind of speed).
@drgunblood And yet, I'm opting for better... I successfully managed to make a flying 747 prototype that doesn't crash (lol) and I'll try remaking this.
