*******
Manufactured in the UK this is aircraft part of the 'new generation' of
enviromentally friendly whisper-jets of which over 300 have so far been
ordered.
The variants which are available include a passenger aircraft with seating

2 on the flight deck and three cabin attendants), the 'QT' (Quiet Trader) a
dedicated freighter which is used by TNT in the USA and Europe for night

4000lbs in the gross weight, a greater payload and a 173 mile (278km)

AAF Design by Peter Leadbeater
******************************
The BAe146-300 is depicted in the colours of Air Pierre, 'my own' airline!
This aircraft represents my first attempt at aicraft design using BAO's
'Aircraft & Adventure Factory'. Whilst the aircraft 'flies' OK, some mods/
tweeks may be needed to the flight characteristics; all comments please
indicating which numbers in the aircraft designer need the adjusting!!
