Named after Ernest K. Gann, pilot and author of one of the best aviation books ever written: Fate is the Hunter. This is a high performing, maneuverable aircraft with plenty of passenger capacity and room for their excess baggage.

Range is around 2000, and the top speed achieved is around 1400mps, though it does take its time to get there. There is a hump between 300-450 mps that takes a bit of work to break through. Level off above 10,000 and perhaps even lose a bit of altitude.Once over 500mps, the ramjets come into their own and the thing just starts accelerating.

Takeoff speed is around 76 mps with full tanks. Two of the engines can be toggled off (action group 1) for more efficient flight. Check out the action group list for ladders, lights, etc.
