A light/medium aircraft. This will become a series of aircraft variations based on this aircraft hull design that I made. I plan on making firefighter, medical, and cargo variations of this plane in the future. This is the commercial variation of the CV-50. It is not directly based on any real-life aircraft, it is loosely inspired by the Cessna 172. This is also the first aircraft that I have made in Stormworks, but I can assure you that this is a well functioning aircraft. I have spent about two weeks designing, adding, removing, and calibrating various things on this aircraft, so it should function well. Let me know of any ideas you have for perhaps changing certain aspects of this aircraft in the comments below.
FEATURES:
- A great fuel range of being able to travel from the green mainland, to the frozen arctic, and back. (Around 170 km, 40 minutes of flight time)
- 2 diesel fuel tanks, a large one in the back, a smaller one in the front.
- Flight speed of about 210 km/h.
- An automatic fire prevention system that will stop your engine fire from turning your aircraft into an inferno.
- Capacity of being able to carry 5 persons, 1 pilot, 4 passengers.
- Landing gear suspension that will help absorb the impact of rougher landings. (AKA: Skill issue protection)
- 3 Alarm systems to warn the pilot.
- A low fuel alarm. (Will trigger if fuel below 10%)
- An engine overheating alarm. (Will trigger if engine temp goes over 90 Celsius)
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, a Sink rate alarm to notify the pilot if altitude is dropping too quickly, so the pilot wakes up from his sleep to pull up before crashing into a fiery mess on the ground.
- A built in communication system, so you are able to communicate with other players in a 1km range.
- A gyroscope to stabilize the plane's heading.
- An easy to repair design. You can access the electrics and microcontrollers below the plane.
- Nice interior wood flooring and comfy seats.
INSTRUCTIONS:
To take off: It is easy to start the engine. First, turn on the primary battery circuit breaker. Then, engage the rear fuel pump, coolant systems, and engine clutch. Lastly, start the engine and toggle off the parking brake. You can also engage front wheel steering to align yourself with the runway properly.
To land: Set the throttle to around 30 when close to landing and gradually decrease the throttle. Make sure the rear landing gear impact the ground first, as they have piston suspension to soften the landing.
OTHER NOTES:
Nothing, just have fun :)
