Red Hawk Airlines B-7a RH.824
Red Hawk Airlines B-7a RH.824
—History—
B-7 class aircraft were built by Harkson Aviation in 1948 to 1955, as a newer version of the original B-6s of 1930 and to bolster ruined fleets of other airlines destroyed in WW2.
The B-7s are still as slow and heavy as the B-6s, but have a longer range and are very reliable and simple to fly. The B-7s variants range from cargo to passenger. RH.824 is a B-7a, which is mainly a cargo carrier than a passenger aircraft but can do both with ease. B-7b variant aircraft are cargo only, with a larger cargo door, whereas B-7c variant aircraft are passenger only. Red Hawk Airlines are famed for having carefully maintained vintage aircraft in their fleet and so RH.824 is still going strong today, having been built in early 1954.
B-7s have about a range of 76km in one fuel tank and the average speed of 50 (whatever that is). B-7s are infamous for overheating, so they run best in high altitudes or in arctic conditions. B-7d variant aircraft are built just for arctic travel.
—information—
Range: 76km until out of fuel
Best flown at higher altitudes where the air is colder as the engine may overheat at low altitudes.
Very basic design but it works well and does the job. Technically this variant is for both cargo and passenger transportation, but for jobs specific to cargo or passenger use variants B-7b or B-7c.
Easy to fly, but is not great at complex manoeuvres. Manual control, so there is no altitude hold or autopilot. The aircraft levels out with a slow ascent. Great for island hopping.
Standard controls:
W/S is up/down
A/D is roll left/right
left/right to turn rudder left/right
turn ignition key and lever to increase engine power. requires quite a run up so a longer airfield should be best.
Red Hawk Airlines is a fictional company I came up with (Harkson Aviation too) and I will do more with it as time goes on.
Don’t reupload this aircraft.
