Pre Depression Era?

1920s or 1930s? KLM and Quantas were airlines back then :shock:

Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services

a.k.a. QANTAS

Sorry, couldn't resist.

The 1960s also mean 737s and Diesel 9s!

Let's just say 50's would be a lot more interesting :wink:
And yes, jets would be available about the time you guys could afford them

Oh, yeah !!!!!

DC-3's, Convair 240's, Viscounts, Electras Now we're talking........

1950, but i will like much more 1927, when VARIG has started operations

Technically, I have added most aircrafts with 9 seats or above since 1920 (or at least they are in the datasheet with some missing information that is not available

). However, we would be missing out on the flying boats if we start in the 20's or 30's. The reason for excluding the flying boats is that they can't land on tarmac... simple

)

In the year 1950 (literally that year, not counting any following year) the longest range aircraft is 5520nm.

What aircraft would that be?

Air Elbonia · **Reply #39 on:** October 09, 2007, 05:10:16 am

Bristol 167 Brabazon: 5520nm
followed by:

Lockheed Super Constellation L-1049: 5405nm
Lockheed R6V Constitution: 5386nm
Breda-Zappata BZ-308: 4781nm
Douglas DC-6B: 4715nm
Douglas DC-6: 4580nm

all immediately available in 1950.

in 1960, we have...

Douglas DC-7C: 5643nm
Canadair CL-44: 5583nm
(bristol brabazon, lockheed's, bz-308, dc-6b)
Douglas DC-7A: 4602
(dc-6)

Depends how long the game runs before a reset. Multiple worlds might allow a later reset (i.e. longer games).

The 50's alone would be neat, with the transition from props to jets coming at the end of the decade. But a long game (lasting more than 10 years) starting in 1960 would also be cool because it would include the introduction of small jets (737, DC-9) and widebodies.

Multi-world is not done yet. It is not going to be implement at this coming round. The poll is on this coming reset only. The round will last for about 10 years game time.
