Land Rover is to build airliners

RichM · Aug 31, 2011

My mate at work told me that Land Rover will start building airliners as from 2014 and they are in the process of developing a competitor to the Boeing 737-800 and the Boeing 787.

The plan is to build small to medium sized passenger jets capable of STOL and also capable of landing on non asphalt/concrete runways.

Anyone know anything about this?

I can imagine, as the plane banks to line up for landing and a load of water rushes through the window seal and soaks half the passengers.

The heaters wont work on them either.

Bet the clutch will squeek too.....

I can imagine the electrical issues now. Pilots on here saying "every time I put the landing gear down the fuse blows and then the gauges stop working".

Or the age old.
"Whenever I come off full throttle there's a loud clonk from underneath. Is that normal?"

And can you imagine how noisy it would be???

They carnt even build proper Landrovers now so airieplanes, never.

what size tyres will fit on my land rover jet?

This just cant be....an airliner with large door gaps....I don't think so...think of the diff-lock problems associated with tricycle 10 wheel drive....its just beyond our current technology...

hope they didnt even think of the freelander when they was designing it

the wings will fall of when it rains...

Bet all the gauges steam up too.

Another post could be "terrible wheel wobble during take off"

Oh bugger, I've just remembered the fuel gauge doesn't work properly..... Oh, hang on, the landing gear is down - I can see it through the floor panel.

gets my vote for best one-liner of the day. :hysterically_laughi

seems rather appropriate that they are making STOL aircraft as i am sure it will be carried out allot.

:crazy: to much :scratching_chin: hmmm let me think... yep got it lay off the :5bsifone:

Need LZ rescue to get me off this desert island I broke down and needed to land.

BuzzLand · Sep 2, 2011

They should get working on flying landrovers first!

If they can get 3 tonne 90s and 110s airbourne and flying around I'll believe them, until then, no way!

I have found the freelander equivalent
