HEH - I thought you might be interested in this.  Since it will carry passengers and no weapons where would it fall into your Sky Whale family tree?

Dear god I love it!

All it does is remind me of Ace combat 3 and makes me super keen for future planes!

Sure hope it progresses further than just being on paper tho

[Heh]

Even though it's not actually armed and is actually big enough to be a sky plesiosaur...

 

Pacificus caesar ceti. Damn hippie sky whale, ruining Moby's aggressive title.

 

Just in case you guys ain't scientific: Pacific Caesar Whale.

The sides with the windows are so sloped I don't see how it would be feasible internally - you'd lose a ton of usable space because you wouldn't be able to have the seats very near the sides and still have enough room to sit down.

Probably for aerodynamics. But it has 3 floors.

Look at my damn avatar. LOOK AT IT. There's an absolute reason why I chose THAT as an avatar, and it's not Fiona nor Cynthia since I dislike them both.

Yea, when I looked into actually putting an avatar on the forums I was going to pick yours, but then I saw you already had it and went all random

But on the topic of those 2 women, I hated Cynthia but sympathised with Fiona, so I liked her. I just hope the Delphinus R-10X planes come to reality more than anything!

Reminds me of the Titanic.It'll probably crash in the first year.

It's also due to how the Delphie 3 is my waifu, second to the XFA-36. And Neucom names their planes after marine species.
