Most Realistic Commercial Airliner

[TopGun904]

Hold on to your marbles

I present to you the most aesthetically realistic airliner the Kerbal world has ever seen. Or a real close second.

It has all the essential external features you would find on real-world aircraft.

All the needed lights (strobe, nav, etc.), gear, with steerable nose gear and taxiing, thanks to the new B9 gear.

Airbrakes, leading edges, and fuel pods. The fuel pods are glitchy so I had to remove some of them.

I say aesthetically realistic, because this craft can take off at 30 m/s in only 1/15 of the runway length. It can even VTOL if you can reverse thrust and brake correctly.

Don't really need the extra 2 engines, but what the heck; this is KSP.

And during landing, it has the capability of maintaining a proper glide slope for the perfect landing everytime. And I mean everytime.

Mods: B9, TV Aerospace, & Aviation Lights

And my favorite part, the shadow looks like a 737.

Nice job! i like the futuristic look.

But I just had to post this because I needed to challenge the 'most realistic' part of the title.

Mine's operationally realistic! It can land in water -somewhat- safely!

Avg m/s is 100, takes off at 3/4 runway if you don't want it to rip to shreds. Basically a 737-300. The parachutes are there because I value the Kerbals' lives. The docking port is there so I could dock a rover to it to move it around. Only mod for it is KW Rocketry, just for the struts and nosecone. I think I could build it stock.

Sorry if I somehow hijacked the thread.

That's awesome! I like the idea of the dock for a pushback truck.

Mind sharing the craft file?
