Nice aircrafts!!! But IMHO... As with the VA-1000, if its a purpose built freighter, I would remove some unnecessary doors and/or overwing exits... And maybe that fwd belly cargo door is too close to the engine inlet... I predict a lot of eng 3 nose changes due to ground handling hitting them while loading/unloading...
Thanks for the comment, im going to change the doors as soon as i can. Im going to remove the rear doors and one of the over wing emergency doors. After watching some photos i have noticed that some aircraft (freighters) only have one door but there are others that have all the doors i supose those are converted freighters thats why i get so mixed up. Anyway what do you think its best.

I agree with you, fwd doors + one overwing exit per side seems enought for me... The problem with the doors/windows is that in a pressurized fuselage openings are a stress concentration point , so it has to be reinforced around (with weight increase), and needs periodical maintenance to check condition... So for a factory built freighter, as u dont plan to carry passengers or evacuate a large amount of people, is best to build the airframe with fewer holes. |

CAV AC8-100 & 200 The CAV AC8 is a short- to medium-range twinjet narrow-body airliner. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engined airliner derived from CAV's AC7. Originally envisioned in 1963, the initial AC8-100 made its first flight in June 1966 and entered airline service in February 1967 with Mexicana. Next, the lengthened AC8-200 entered service in January 1968. CAV had been studying a short- to medium-range airliner to complement their higher capacity, long range AC7. Preliminary design work began on July 11, 1963. Mexicana became the launch customer on February 19, 1964, with an order for 20 aircraft. To expedite development, CAV used 60% of the structure and systems of the existing AC7, the most notable being the fuselage cross-section. This fuselage permitted six-abreast seating compared to the rival BAC-111 and DC-9's five-abreast layout. The AC8-200 is a AC8-100 with an extended fuselage and more powerful and efficient engines, launched by an order from Viasa in 1965. The -200 was rolled out on July 20, 1967, and entered service with Viasa in January 1968. CAV also provided the AC8-200CF (Convertible), which allowed for conversion between passenger and cargo use and the AC8-200QC (Quick Change), which facilitated a rapid conversion between roles. Specifications (AC8-100): General characteristics Crew: 3 Capacity: 100-140 passengers Length: 33.95 m (111,38 ft) Wingspan: 30.55 m (100,23 ft) Height: 12.09 m (39,67 ft) Wing area: 116 m² (1248,61 ft²) Empty weight: 31,700 kg (69,800 lb) Max. takeoff weight: 58,100 kg (128,100 lb) Powerplant: 2 × VeneAvia TR-6-20A turbofan, 18,900 lbf dry thrust each Performance Maximum speed: 926 km/h (500 knots, 575 mph) Range: 3,500–4,300 km (2,200–2,600 mi) Service ceiling: 12,000 m (39,000 ft) Specifications (AC8-200): General characteristics Crew: 3 Capacity: 120-160 passengers Length: 37.5 m (123,03 ft) Wingspan: 30.55 m (100,23 ft) Height: 12.09 m (39,67 ft) Wing area: 116 m² (1248,61 ft²) Empty weight: 33,200 kg (73,040 lb) Max. takeoff weight: 68,050 kg (149,710 lb) Powerplant: 2 × VeneAvia TR-6-24A turbofan, 24.000 lbf dry thrust each Performance Maximum speed: 926 km/h (500 knots, 575 mph) Range: 4,300 km (2,600 mi) Service ceiling: 12,000 m (39,000 ft) |

Hello everyone, this are a couple of variations of battlecruisers and battleships that im making for the brazilian navy but im a bit stuck so i would like to here some suggestions. The ships are suposed to be built according to the washington treaty and in this AU brazil is a very close UK ally hence the british influence on the ships. |

Quito Class - Battleship The Quito-class battleships, were the first dreadnoughts built for the Venezuelan Navy. They had a convoluted design history involving several changes in requirements, development problems and foreign protests. Construction was delayed by development problems.They were delivered from November 1907 through February 1910, although they still needed work on the turrets and fire-control systems until mid-1910. General characteristics Type: Dreadnought Displacement: 24,800 metric tons (24,400 long tons; 27,300 short tons) Length: 177.57 m (582,58 ft) Beam: 27 m (88,58 ft) Draft: 8.48 m (27,82 ft) Installed power: 52,000 shp (39,000 kW) (on trials) Propulsion: 4 shafts, steam turbines 25 water-tube boilers Speed: 24.1 kn (44.6 km/h; 27.7 mph) (on trials) Range: 3,200 nmi (5,900 km; 3,700 mi) at 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) Complement: 1,149 Armament: 4 × 3 – 12-inch guns 14 × 1 – 4.7-inch (120 mm) guns Armor: Waterline belt: 125–225 mm (4.9–8.9 in) Deck: 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) Turrets: 76–203 mm (3.0–8.0 in) Barbettes: 75–150 mm (3.0–5.9 in) Conning tower: 100–254 mm (3.9–10.0 in) |

Nice work on the aircraft (and the ships as well)! The VA-1020 design is very nice. |

Great additions as usual. I love those mini-battleships, you've got some very neat ideas there. Perhaps enter one into the 25,000 ton contest with 12in guns? The Quito looks interesting, but you'd probably want more forward arcs for B turret. |
