KerbalX

Description

A stock aircraft called JumboJet1d. Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.3.1, with 50 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2Cockpit.Standard.
.
A long-range supersonic passenger airliner designed to meet the KEA RJC JumboJet (and Supersonic) category requirements. Can circumnavigate Kerbin (after reaching cruising speed).
.

• Entry-level airliner: space for 2 pilots, 168 passengers and 6 crew (KEA rules), cargo.
• Long range, fuel efficient: cruises at Mach 2.84 @ 16.5km using an average of 0.38 LF/s.
• Easy operation: take off speed 65 m/s (w/flaps 55 m/s), or hands-free 80 m/s.
• Low maintenance, cost-efficient: only 3 engines and 50 parts, 45t wet, 73M (in KEA$).
• 2220 LF fully fueled (some tank space unused for balance/cargo purposes).

.
This design was born out of curiosity at a recent remark in the KEA RJC thread about having trouble meeting the JumboJet range requirements (4000+ km). As the challenge OP seems to be absent, this should not be considered an entry for the time being, but it was a fun test nonetheless.

(Hotel26’s Lightning offers a more slender Mk1 variation if this type of wing caught your interest.)
