Passenger plane challenge

[Ribby Kerman]

Hi everyone,

 This is my first challenge on ksp forums so forgive me for any wrongdoings.

Anyway this challenge is to make a passenger plane that can fly properly and be close to a model of a specific plane(A330, 747 ect.).

The necessary requirements are listed below.

1. The plane must be able to hold at least 68 kerbals

2. It has to resemble a particular aircraft 

3. It preferably has to be built using mk3 parts

4. Has to be apparent that it can travel from the KSC to the island airport. This should show that it can maneuver properly.

5. No cheats allowed

6. Only mods that are allowed are types that do not add parts such as kerbal engineer or mechjeb or farem areospace. Although I will allow mods that add improved cockpits. Nothing else

 7.Hard mode: Increase passenger capacity to 200 kerbals and have 2 decks while using only up to 4 engine apparatuses.

8. Extra hard mode: Make it carry a space shuttle and get to the island and back with all conditions applied with 300 kerbals or more

Must include pics and vids would be awesome. 

I will handpick winners by looking at size, accuracy, maneuverability, speed, capacity, and originality. There will be until April 29 to submit entries.

Good luck to all and happy building

Here are 2 examples that i made myself quickly.

These 2 are the A330 and the A340 both from Airbus.

What does resemble count as?

EDIT: And do we have to land at the Island Runway?

What I mean by resemble is that I can recognize that it is a passenger plane and not some sort of made up thing.

To get extra points it would help to land at the island runway but it is not necessary. As long as you can land it on the KSC runway or even the grass it is fine as long as it is not destroyed.

I'll whip something up tonight. If it looks like a plane hopefully it'll land like a plane.

Rats, ran out of fuel just a smidge short of the Island Runway.  Clearly a replica of the original Area 51 lander. Holds 187 Kerbals.

Very nice build although i would have liked to see a plane but nevertheless this is an exteemely amazing craft so it will be counted in scoring.

Here is a small one i made of Learjet 45XR.  Does not follow all the rules but still.

Does the space shuttle have to be mk3 or can it be smaller?

It is a passenger plane challenge.

Here is another one  747  with shuttle

My 737

 

 

[Amavios]

Here's my attempt !

210 Kerbals

Landed on the Island and back with a shuttle

Looks like a A380

I think I'm in hard mode

Well yeah but since I want to have a space shuttle on top of it, I was wondering if it had to be mk3 size or smaller 

[Ribby Kerman]

Th shuttle could possibly be smaller if you would like

I see nothing against the rules because i said preferably mk3. It is not required. It is so elegant and realistic that i will count it in the competition. Nice job

@Nefrums amazing reproduction!  I have to know though, did that thing actually fly and land safely?

[Nefrums]

it actuality flies quite well, at least above 100m/s

thou the runway on the island is a bit to short

Currently working on the Dassault Falcon 7X and the Gulfstream G550. Should have them in either later today or tomorrow :)

Why no Mechjeb ?

No passenger aircrafts exists without autopilot!!

[Amavios]

Do you want the aircraft file ?

[gilflo]

No thank's, I mean, what the interest to pilot manually a passengers aircraft ?

Mechjeb can do the job, better than us!

I build a lot of SSTO passenger aircrafts, no so big, and I use mechjeb except for landing and take off.

Read the rules properly and you will see that mehjeb is allowed

it is not required. You only need pictures

I have an A321 (I flew on one today) it flys like a rock, and is really annoying, but I can land it on the island airport and has those wing tip thingys. Out of all the planes here it is the only one to have it! Well, except @Nefrums plane.
