Donkkworks AL-520 "Vertijet" | Destructible VTOL Airliner
Fictional aircraft!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Story:
The plane first took to the skies on 12th December 1979 ( Stormworks time ). It was a small turboprop airliner, but with a catch. It was a VTOL. The Vertijet didn’t sell really well with passenger airlines, only having 172 orders in that category. The airlines thought their passengers would be scared of the new type of plane. It did sell well with cargo companies and armies, though. It managed to get 231 orders in this category. The airplane was not as popular as it was expected to be, but it’s pilots and passengers loved the plane. The plane was pretty safe too, with only 5 fatal hull loses. The worst crash was when a very old and badly maintained AL-520 went down due to the VTOL mode deploying mid-air, causing the plane to spin and break up in flight. All 71 passengers and crew on board were killed. The airline caused this accident.

I’m quite bad at making liveries, so I would be happy if someone made some liveries and uploaded them 😀
