Description
This is a heavy transport plane that was purpose built to carry shipping containers and some small vehicles. It has four large, jet-assisted turbo-prop engines, working landing gear, landing lights, navigation lights, an improved radio system, and encrypted navigation system, and enough personal equipment for the crew and all passengers onboard. The entire aircraft is completely water tight and this was achieved by adding hatches over the crew entrances near the front of the plane and a massive custom door by the cargo ramp. Both the cockpit and cabin have RGB lights that can be switched from yellow to red for flying at night along with heaters for all compartments. Additionally, the aircraft has parachutes, cold weather clothing, a medical bed, 2 dive suits, plenty of rope and fire extinguishers, and capacity for 4 flight crew and 12 passengers. Control of the aircraft can be transferred from the pilot to the copilot using a button on the copilot's side of the main console. The pilot has access to the flap controls, distress beacon locator and the landing gear, while the copilot has access to the radio, clock, nose wheel steering controls, and variable brakes. There is a common airspeed indicator and altimeter in the center of the console along with the keypad for the altitude hold system. Each seat also has a panel showing the altitude, speed, vertical speed, and a simulated RADAR altimeter using a distance sensor up to 500m above the ground.

You can enter the plane by approaching the doors with yellow buttons near the front of the plane and low on the sides. Push the button to open the door and then open the overhead sliding hatch. Climb the ladder to enter the aircraft and then close the hatch behind you. Finally, press the yellow button on the wall to close the external door below. There is a yellow panel on the forward wall and on the right side to activate the lights and heaters in the cargo hold. Go up the stairs to the flight deck and turn right. There will be a panel on the wall with all controls needed to start the engines and flight systems. First turn on avionics and hydraulic systems using the switches near the top and left of the panel. They have a yellow and green indicator light respectively showing the systems are turned on. Next turn on all of the fuel pumps using the switches along the top of the panel. They all have a pink indicator showing that they have been turned on. Then turn on the engines using the buttons on the bottom of the panel. They are toggle button so you can press them, wait for the engines to start, and then turn the buttons back off to save power. The last thing to do is sit in the pilot's seat and turn off the parking brake found in the center of the main console. The engines will cause the plane to move forward without touching the thrust spoiler if they are set to anything above the 5 RPS they are on by default. Use the up arrows to increase the prop collective and reduce the thrust spoiler to ~0.9. Taxi the aircraft to the runway and prepare for takeoff. Lower the flaps with the instrument panel on the console to ~0.3, increase the throttle to 20 RPS, and reduce the thrust spoiler down to 0.

This is actually my most powerful plane in spite of it having fewer engines than my other heavy transport. It can reach a cruising speed of about 175 knots on only 20 RPS from the jet engines. It can carry any 11x11 container shorter than 70 blocks in length. It can also support a container as wide as 17 blocks across. It has surprisingly good fuel efficiency and the fact that you don't even need to throttle up to taxi makes this completely different to fly than my other planes. The plane can be refueled using the doors marked with a pink "F" near the center of plane and beneath the wings. Hoses and cables for the batteries can be found in the cargo hold near the crew doors.

I made it work

I have a friend either on Steam or on Discord that wanted me to outfit one of his tanks with my parachute drop system. It took a little work, but I was able to drop it like the rest of my containers that I built for that purpose. I don't have the controller on the workshop, but all of the things that are labeled as "Air Drop" containers have it installed and working.

the tank i have is tiny ill see if it fits in it

In my collection for transport aircraft and air-drop pallets I have an electric car attached to a shipping container. It's the biggest and most awkward container that I've built, but it shows how you can transport a vehicle using one of my planes. This plane has rails at 5, 9, and 13 blocks apart. There are rail connectors that need to touch the rails and the brakes need to be set to on-by-default using either a toggle button or logic on a micro-controller. Release the brakes when you intend to drop the tank.

thing is idfk how to do that

I don't know if that works. You probably want something with rail connectors to lock to the floor of the plane. I recommend using a flat pallet and connecting the tank to the pallet with electrical connectors. Maybe make the pallet longer than the tank so that you have enough space for the rail grips.

i use wires to make it stable and the tanks handbrakes but it flies out after i take the wires off

Are there brakes or track mounts on the under side of the tank? It needs to be secured and locked in place otherwise it could destroy the inside of the plane.

how will i drop the tank tho, after i detract it flies around in the plane

You're gonna need to explain what your problem is a little better. Set the throttle to 25 RPS, set the thrust spoiler to 0, set the prop collective to 1, and set the flaps to 0.3. The plane will take off with multiple liquid containers onboard.
