BOEING 747-400 [365 Passenger Capacity]

[Jetenginestar]

Out of curiosity, what is the mass of this thing, also, I don't think it is quite big enough, considering that a 1-class 747-400 can hold 660 human passengers, and that it has

nearly 1200 kN of thrust and flies at mach 0.85. Also, they are 70 meters long, which is of course equivalent to 28 pancake tanks sitting on the ground lined up side-by-side.

Still, very cool plane, I'm quite jealous of that fact that it can hold so many people, think of what a space-plane that could do that would be like! You could crew several large space-stations in a

single launch of a relatively small craft.

About a year ago, someone gave comment that my old 747 was not up to scale.

With a little inspiration from ArcticAstrophysics' 747, I decided to remaster the plane with all the knowledge I've gain since I first played the game.

Kermens, I present you, the 747 Reborn!

*Because the aircraft has a terrible turn rate on the ground, you can use asymetric thrust to get abit more torque.

Basic Version (Part Count: 752)

-The airplane without seats.

Low Part Version (Part Count: 591)

-This version is striped of all the cosmetic and non-essential parts, effectively reducing the part count to 591 parts without degrading handling performance.

High Desity Version (Part Count: 1115)

-Who on Earth (or Kerbin) needs so much capacity anyway?

So i fired it up, had a few laps, then decided to remove some lag from my launch pad, idk i think it made quite a mess.

Great job on that man, i did not expect it to take off so early or be able to bank so well (By the way if you do not know, when banking keep tiliting back and forth on your pitch, makes it corner about twice as fast and because there are so many controls it goes faster through corners than on straights, love it haha)

Idk how the hell jeb did not die.

erm.... how do you get the kerbals inside?

[Bilfr3d]

At this point is when your curse the devs for not adding the ability to put kerbals in the command seats before launch... that is some crazy thing right there. I want to turn that into a big SSTO and take it to the mun. Could you now make a craft that has hitchhikers that carry an equal amount of kerbals so we can load the damn thing up?

Ah, also, on those mediafire links, change "view" to "download", so instead of viewing it, it takes people straight to the download page.

Thanks, well, the armor did it's job I guess

There Should be a ladder at the door in front of the wing which allows you to climb in. The ladder has been removed in the low part version.

Thanks for the suggestion , fixed.

If we were to carry 364 Passengers in hitch hikers, the hitch hikers would weight 227.5 tons, way above the aircraft's MTOW of 167.8 tons

I think 150 passengers sounds more feasible with enough spare weight for the engines and fuel tank.

IMO a major redesign is a better option than to modify the craft

I agree, plus it would have to be way bigger to fit all the cans inside lol.

Anywho this is what i whipped up to get all the kerbals inside, idk if i have the patience to actually do it though.

Pilots go in the lander cans.

1325 parts, tried to not add many parts.
