Douglas Dc-8-62 (Abandoned Project and Non Multiplayer Friendly)

Still waiting for the builder role at the BR discord...

Hi, I must say this project took nearly a month and way too many hours away from my life. Major thanks to ALEK and Skinnylegs and many more other people later. It has 4k Bricks and is not multiplayer friendly, Don't use it at all...

Do not ryanair it (land it hard) Don't use it at multiplayer servers Press X to retract landing gear Landing gear takes around 10-20 seconds to fully go up Manuver it like a airliner, dont expect f-14 levels of manuverability.

159 feet long 167.36 feet wide 40.28 feet tall ( I messed up my calculations its not a 1-1 scale I'm sorry) 5,378 Bricks Stall speed: Around 30-40 Mph (Thanks Fluppi) 82 passenger seats (4 at cockpit not included) Working yoke and detailed (not photo realistic, if i did that I will kill myself) cockpit Captain, Co-Pilot and flight engineer + 1 seat Top speed: 204 Mph Brick ammount, varies between versions

ALEK: Teaching how to make the fuselage, answering my 500 questions and landing gear system SkinnyLegs: Interiors and removing 1k bricks Kangaroo 3505: Literally made it

Reapz: Demonstraiting (early version) that it is way way way better at flying than expected Many more that I forgot rip

The Douglas DC-8 (sometimes McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is a long-range narrow-body airliner built by the American Douglas Aircraft Company. After losing the May 1954 US Air Force tanker competition to the Boeing KC-135, Douglas announced in July 1955 its derived jetliner project. In October 1955, Pan Am made the first order along with the competing Boeing 707, and many other airlines followed. The first DC-8 was rolled out in Long Beach Airport on April 9, 1958, and flew for the first time on May 30. FAA certification was achieved in August 1959 and the DC-8 entered service with Delta Air Lines on September 18.

The six-abreast, low wing airliner was a four-engined jet aircraft with initial variants being 151 ft (46 m) long. The DC-8-10 was powered by Pratt & Whitney JT3C turbojets and had a 273,000 lb (124 t) MTOW, the DC-8-20 had more powerful JT4A turbojets for a 276,000 lb (125 t) MTOW. The intercontinental models had more fuel capacity and up to 315,000 lb (143 t) MTOW, powered by JT4As for the Series 30 and by Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans for the Series 40. The Pratt & Whitney JT3D powered the later DC-8-50 and freighter versions reached a MTOW of 325,000 lb (147 t).

The improved Series 60 was announced in April 1965. The DC-8-61 was stretched by 36 ft (11 m) for 180–220 seats in mixed-class and a MTOW of 325,000 lb (147 t). It first flew on March 14, 1966, was certified on September 2, 1966, and entered service with United Airlines in February 1967. The long-range DC-8-62 followed in April 1967, stretched by 7 ft (2.1 m), could seat up to 189 passengers over 5,200 nmi (9,600 km) with a larger wing for a MTOW up to 350,000 lb (159 t). The DC-8-63 had the long fuselage and the enlarged wing, freighters MTOW reached 355,000 lb (161 t).

The DC-8 was produced until 1972 with 556 aircraft built. It was superseded by larger wide-body airliners including Douglas' DC-10. In 1975, the Series 70 retrofit was proposed with the quieter and more fuel-efficient CFM56 turbofan. Some re-engined freighters are still in use.

in 1948, Aerofly Europe was founded after a wealthy businessman bought 53 Dc-3s after its usage during ww2, It's main hub is Amsterdam Schiphol airport and other secondary hubs are, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Rome, Napoli, Athens, Istanbul, Nice, Zurich and more.
