Donkkworks AL-540 "Peacejet" | Destructible Long-Range Wide-Body Airliner
Fictional Aircraft!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Story:
The Peacejet took it's first flight on 22nd July 1985 ( Stormworks time ). The plane was one of the first twin-jet wide-body airliners. For it's time, the aircraft had an extremely modern cockpit. The AL-540 was way ahead of it's time with it's waypoint autopilot too. One factor that the plane excelled in too was passenger comfort. From airstairs to RGB lights, the plane could offer a lot. It didn't even lack in safety: there are only 7 fatal hull losses, the worst being when a Peacejet ran over a smaller XJ-00 Lutra on 12th September 2001 ( Stormworks time ). This ripped the plane's second engine off causing it to crash into a hangar. In the collision of Sawyerwest fight 15 ( AL-540 ) and Camodo Air Express flight ( XJ-00 Lutra ), 248 people died, leaving only 4 survivors. You can learn about more accidents in the comments. Nonetheless, the plane was very popular and many units are still being built to this day ( newer versions, AL-540-91 etc. ). There are 701 units built so far.

Recommendations:
-Modify your workbenches or spawn it with a mission
-If you don't have a beefy computer, you can turn off vehicle damage ( plane can still be destroyed ) and use LOW physics quality ( LOW phys quality should be only used with vehicle damage off).
-Don't overstress the airframe, can lead to damage.
