Boeing 747-AAC (Airborne Aircraft Carrier) was a proposed Boeing aircraft designed to be an airborne aircraft carrier. It was a variant of the Boeing 747 and a concept which never made it to reality.

In the early 1970s, Boeing conducted a study under a contract from the USAF for an airborne aircraft carrier for up to 10 Boeing Model 985-121 "microfighters", with the ability to launch, retrieve, re-arm, and refuel the microfighters.

Purpose:
Surveillance Missions

Stats
The same as 747-200

but would/should it be able to carry actual players piloting small planes though?

#

Hmmm

#

We leave it to the devs

It'll be like Arial Refueling

#

Actually

#

Ill send the link to make you understand how it works

#

There's a backup one

#

Launch bay

#

I dunno

undone ridge
#

If the launch bay is broken

#

We could use the recovery bay for launching and recovering microfighters

#

Thats why it have 2 bay's

#

I kinda wanted this to be in aero tbh

#

Very cool concept right?

rotund flume
#

yep

#

Unfortunately no mock-ups so

undone ridge
#

If i remembered it correctly

#

Its a 5 yr old vid

#

Shocked that nobody has even suggested this

#

So yeah

#

oh people did but suggestions got deleted accidently

I’m pretty sure the purpose of this aircraft would be Cargo not surveilancetrolley

?
I just did Google search based off the phrase "boeing model 985-121 microfighter" and chose a (imo) good image

#

oh

#

well its from a youtube vid

no cool stuff for public!!!!

Atp it’s just glorified Freighter

#

Add as advanced customization great

It’s the same as Freighter but with two doors below

#

Ngl I like it, it’s cursed at exactly my level

compact patio
#

like maybe the recovery arms (they could activate with T or Y)

stray cipher
#

But reasonably it’s no use in game

Liek those on Berkut for example

compact patio
#

wait you aren’t allowed to make them?

stray cipher
#

Same reason why F-15SE still in purgatory

#

No, I am, I just dunno how pooo

compact patio
#

Uhhh ain’t it just a hinge and a motortrolley

Wait is the S-3 another Neo port

stray cipher
#

If you know how I’d likely would hear your explanation about hingeconstraints

#

Cuz I dead ass have zero idea how it works

Life cooked with it and you just

compact patio
#

I’ve never had to use those

#

“Port”

compact patio
#

I’ve just used motors with Instance within a script trolley

#

and then used a filler part as it’s location/parent

compact patio
#

so I guess you would have to insert a hinge at a position based off of the aircraft’s origin Dunno

#

Or have they split so far that you need significant reconstruction just to use it

stray cipher
#

Same as GTA V and IV on the same RAGE engine

#

While being completely different

#

Codewise I mean

compact patio
#

GTA Definitely causes ragetrolley

#

I’ll see myself out

#

And we don’t practice reusing NWX assets anymore

#

Neo has implemented aerial refueling though the issue is it uses the seat mechanic which uh
