Let's look at the MD-83 (was Microsoft too poor or they lazily didn't want to waste time to make it flyable in FS2004/FSX?) and the Learjet 35 (yes I used FS95/FS98 in the past).
Now, there are some "samish" things:
- Engines on the back of the fuselage
- Vertical stabilizers on the top of the rudder (maybe because engines take space in the back of the airliner?)
- Wings on the back of the plane (let's be honest, the first time I saw that I felt like "How did this fly?" only to realize it was made in order to put CoMass near to the CoLift
- Front of the plane is extremely long compared to the back of it (by back I mean the place that the wings and engine are on)
- Engines are SLIGHTLY tilted to the ground
Why was this 'business jet' design so popular in the past for airliners?
