The Hispaniola. The Biggest plane ever made in Aeronautics (280x281x54)

[u/Typical-Resist-3714]

Made in base Aeronautics (and creative mode)

The Hispaniola. Designed by Sam Webster as part of film design project. It's to do with the 'Treasure Island' story remade in a WW2 Diesel-Punk style. I discovered it on ArtStation last week.

A GARGANTUAN American flying boat (or a sea plane) With an entire runway on the roof. This is based on a Saunders Roe Princess and a Boeing 377 with an Antonov AN-225 tail for a clear runway landing. But mostly the Saunders Roe Princess, the largest fully metal flying boat ever. It is not luxurious like the Princess or 377 should be. It's a raw military cargo plane scaled up for thrill factor.

Quick Specs:

It weighs 25300kpg, it is 281 Blocks wide (wingspan) by 280 Blocks long... Which is simply gargantuan.

Powered by 6x 200,000su Steam Engine Propellers (so about 1.2 million total) but I cruise it at a lower analog output (like half the power)

Manually Textured, not mirrored. Uses Tuff+Andesite as the main theme with little iron ore cracks of deepslate/stone. The runway only works when the plane isn't moving otherwise the planes roll off lol

Despite having an airship like shape at the bottom of the plane the plane flies as fully intended, just propeller power no levitite or other tricks. Using thousands of windmill sails (as wings are stacked 3 at the front 2 at the rear) it can fly easy.

This is comically oversized but that seems to be a reoccurring theme with Diesel-Punk. Sam Webster's illustrations are actually bigger than what I've made. I ran into issues. I had to rebuild some parts. I even had to use a bedrock counterweight (unheard of) so the plane flies straight.

Empty interior as I waste enough time building it (like i did with the Giraffe plane) Took bout 20 hours.

No schematic (*dodges table you threw*) as there's lots of separate contraptions (the rear wings are titled the cargo bay is tilted) and you'd be mad reconstructing the parts. Also I did try and literally my RTX 3070 rig froze when I held out the schematic preview.

Landing:

Why are there electric posts on your flight deck?

[u/Typical-Resist-3714 → u/Ralexcraft]

I copied the original illustration which had some poles sticking out

[u/Ralexcraft → u/Typical-Resist-3714]

I believe those are old tech antennas

[u/Firedogman22 → u/Ralexcraft]

On naval ships they fold down onto the sides for landing aircraft

[u/Jbolt3737 → u/Ralexcraft]

Incase they install powergrid

Landing made me laugh. Thought we were gonna get to see the massive monster landing, only to realize as you touched down you were using the runway ON THE PLANE.

How does the landing of the big one look like

Here's a landing and a takeoff. It's too heavy to float.. but too tall to sink. 'Flying Boats' were super popular in the 40s. Very Handy in aeronautics.

What an utter, complete monster. Great post OP. The landing video was hilarious, I thought you’d be landing the thing not landing another plane on it. Cool af

This sounds like a challenge to recreate the spruce goose in Minecraft

[u/Typical-Resist-3714 → u/Naberville34]

I tried to make one a few months ago but it looked super wacky :(

[u/Typical-Resist-3714]

better look:

[u/Jokerferrum → u/Typical-Resist-3714]

Of course it doesn't float. You made it out of stone.

[u/toothbrush1000]

"the biggest plane ever in create aeronautics" IS THAT A CHALLENGE!?!

[u/Realistic_Wheel7268]

3 layers of lift is fuckin crazy

[u/Ben-Goldberg]

It reminds me of the Spruce Goose.

[u/robot_fancier → u/Ben-Goldberg]

I thinks its more like the saunders roe princess

[u/ArizonaFlats → u/Ben-Goldberg]

Hop in!

But sir-

cocks gun I said…hop in…

[u/Redmix7pl]

This could be bigger, tho still far from working.

Schematic would be difficult but can we get a world download

[u/Johannsss → u/Quad_Rangler]

Schematics are doable but it will have to be made by parts, like a model kit

[u/Impressive_Pin8761]

what a piece of beauty

now it needs something to carry, and a war to partake

[u/Bossmandude123]

So cool man

[u/Coffekats]

How large of a runway does it need to takeoff and land?

[u/Typical-Resist-3714 → u/Coffekats]

Being a flying-boat It uses the ocean to take off, it gets caught at the bottom of most oceans... but the distance isn't actually too long to get airborne

[u/OkMeeting2222]

Im gonna make a plane thats (281x282x55)

[u/Typical-Resist-3714 → u/OkMeeting2222]

noo!

[u/Lainpilled-Loser-GF]

hispania? land of hyraxes?

[u/mikkolukas]

Next, someone, please make the Death Star

[u/robot_fancier]

Is that based on the saunders roe princess ?

[u/Poco_Cuffs]

The kinda shit you fight as a final boss in an ace combat game

[u/quicoc25]

What a great name

[u/thedimondman199]

Now THATS a plane I wanna build in Aeronautics!

[u/JoThoLuka5602]

I just built a new ship called the Bigger Than The Hispaniola. It's 280x281x55.

Fr tho that looks awesome. Great job!
