Jet airliner



Jet airliners are large commercial aircraft that flew passengers all over the Commonwealths of the United States and were all knocked out of the sky shortly before the Great War. None are known to be still flying, but several wrecks can be found.

Characteristics
The jet airliner was an all metal passenger plane in blended wing configuration. Passengers sat in the fuselage and in the wings. The wings had large viewing windows on the inboard leading edge, similar to an airship. Meanwhile, the fuselage maintained a standard 3-3 seating. It was powered by eight nuclear power turbo jets in clusters of 4 on each wing. In addition to engine inlets, the engine clusters also have a fifth intake possibly for air conditioning or turbo charging. The jetliner also had a vertical stabilizer on each wing. Passengers were stationed all down the fuselage. There were two lavatories at the very nose of the aircraft. Just aft of the lavatories was the cockpit access stairs. The cockpit was small with two pilot seats and a data recorder. The aircraft had at least two operators, Horizon Airlines and Skylanes Airlines. No aircraft remains intact and the jet airliner can only be found in Fallout 4. Super mutants, ghouls, raiders or gunners can be found near crashed aircrafts.

Locations

 * Three jet airliners can be found at Boston Airport, These aircraft are totally destroyed and their interiors stripped out.
 * Remains of one can be found crashed into the East Boston Preparatory School
 * The crashed Skylanes Flight 1665 airliner can be found in the Glowing Sea.
 * The crashed Skylanes Flight 1981 airliner can be found towards the north of The Commonwealth by General Atomics Galleria.
 * A crashed Jet Airliner can be found on the ocean floor south east of Spectacle Island. The plane is primarily found underwater however parts can be seen on the deck of a tugboat. Suggesting that this flight went down prior to the Great War.
 * Small parts (especially tail cones) can be found scattered across The Commonwealth. Many settlements appear to be made using scrap parts from these aircraft.
 * Crashed and mostly buried at crater house. It is possible that the residual radiation in the area is from the jets nuclear engines.

Appearances
The jet airliner only appears in Fallout 4. Also, some of the parts of the jet airliner can be seen in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
The Junkers G.38 which flew in Germany in 1929 is the only commercial aircraft built to house passenger seats in the wings.
