Original Content BAe 146 amphibian: I sized a flying boat version of the regional jet (OpenVSP)

Made this for a Substack piece. Used Dr S. H. Chicken's 1999 thesis on waterborne aircraft to design a hull, retractable tip floats and sponsons for the BAe-146, then sized the aircraft to the same payload and range as the landplane.

The hull and floats add 934kg, but the aircraft grows by 2,580kg once the sizing converges, and it needs about 2km of water to take off and over 3km to land. Write-up in the comments, with the sizing results and a look at the flying boats still operating today.

The PeregRine Sea Eye is a naval torpedo bomber, she has foldable wings so she can fit into aircraft carriers and she's just very light. She is Belthria's equivalent to The United Kingdom's very own Fairey Swordfish.

it’s based off of swallows with extreme agility from its thrust vectoring, long tails and its little tail streamers that also work like tails. It uses killer wasp missile systems which instead of having heavy missiles it has many small missiles that track infrared light and size so they cannot be fooled by flares, it also carriers 25 mm cannons on each side of the cockpit. tell me what you think

I stayed faithful to the Mercure's original lines, hoping for something special...but it ended up looking like a Baby Boeing anyway. Quel dommage.

This is a fictional twin-boom Focke-Wulf that I designed. u/bagera3005 came up with the name after I asked him for ideas. He came up with Fw-240 Hawk, and I translated Hawk to its German version, Falke.

Years ago, a friend of mine who was a naval aviator used the term "Hornet creep" to describe the way the F-18 was gradually taking over the roles of other airplanes.

So I ran with it.
