I fixed the powerplant problem its just that i had forgotten to change it, as for the nose i cant really change it because the two aircraft compete against each other so it would be strange to have two competing aircraft from different manufacturers with exactly the same nose.

Wonderful!

Hi,
Nice AU! But regarding aircrafts I see some issues…

_ I don´t see any cargo doors on CAV airliners…
_ Concerning supersonic fighters, IMHO if they are intended to reach Mach 2+, except the CA-14 with its 2D ramp, they need some inlet cone or ramp system to counter shock waves... And in the case of the C-10C I think it will need a larger intake to take the additional air mass required by the larger engine…

Thanks alot, i really appreciate the comment i had completely overlooked the cargo doors on those airliners. As for the fighters im already working on the intakes, for the C-10 series im going to use a cone system and for the larger C-12 i was cosidering a ramp system similar to the one used by the phantom.

Here are some things ive been playing with:

VeneAvia - VA-1000-10 Aeropostal



And here is a little experiment that is still in process, it is a top view of the VA-1000, it is the first time i try to make the top side of an aircraft. I would like to hear some suggestions about shading and anything else that is noticed.

Nice work with the top view, something does not look right at the engines nacelles. Look if you can find pictures of top view from the Il-62, or copy the thrust reverser of RR Conway.

Thanks for the comment odysseus. I would like to know what you are refering to about the nacelles.

I really like the looks of this airliner - but -
in my 60,000 miles of air travel over four decades,
I've never seen a an airliner with such short landing
gear. I think your jet really needs more ground
clearance. Don't forget that the maintenance on the
wings and the engines is done from underneath -
and there has to be clearance for support vehicles
as well.
