The worlds best way to turn J1a into Noise.. I mean really, why put 4 small engines on a small airplane when 2 bigger ones would have worked, and been much quieter and cheaper LOL..

actually the 4 small engines are meant to minimize the noise. The 146 has been marketed as whisperjet.

Its perfect for london city because of its short take offs and landings

Your right stef its a very quiet airplane. Another reason is the fact the aircraft is designed to use very short strips and at extreme altitudes. Thus 4 smaller engines are used.

Also they are smaller as the aircraft was designed to have plenty of room around it due to the fact it operates in places that are not nessecerily big airports but more like gravel and loose surface. It operated in mountains etc.

Its a great design!! why... because its British

You should see a 727 landing on that strip.

Ug...too rich for mine, big fast aeroplanes and little windy runways don't mix!

I sympathise with that pilot though, just the other day I had to stick the nose down and go full throttle at 100 feet on short final due to windshear.
Bunny hopped over the road that runs across the aerodrome boundry! That cow will never feed near THAT fence again.

Unfortunately the 146 has a mixed reputation here as they are prone to bad fuel fumes in the cockpit. I know of a couple of pilots having to retire due to poor health reputedly due to years of flying in this bird. It was also the subject of an investigative television documentary on the fact.

No such problems in the sim however (unless of course you want ultra-realism then I suppose a drum of A1 in the back maybe called for!!)

I've always had a soft spot for that aircraft. What a cool sim to build.
