I've reorganised Robin Industries, and as such have deleted my original post. Now introducing the new
R169 Regionaliner
The R169 Regionaliner is a regional airliner developed by Robin Industries in the late 90s. It was designed for low or poor infrastructure regional airports, and took to the skies in 1998. The most striking feature of the aircraft is it's engine placement, having them situated atop the wings, instead of the conventional Pylon mounted configuration on most airliners. This was to give the aircraft the ability to easily operate on dirt runways, while still being low to the ground to make boarding easier. The engine placement means they're less likely to ingest debris. Also the designers at Robin Industries want to be different. The aircraft was originally just designated the R169, but as it was developed in the future, it would eventually be renamed the R169-100. The specifications of the R169-100 are as follows:
Length: 32 metres
Wingspan: 24 metres
Capacity: 92 passengers
Range: 2000km
Engines: X2 Rolls Royce RB.183 Tay
Dear god, NO
I actually don't hate this the shape of the fuselage is cute even if the engine placement is sinful. I would like to see you move away from the tritone orange in your designs there's a whole spectrum out there waiting for them to use it and maybe something crazy - say purple or green - is waiting to delight your and my eyes.

I don't mean to keep using the same colours honestly. I originally made two versions of the aircraft (one with normal engine placement and this one) with a red livery and also a blue livery, but I ended up posting the red livery cause it was on this version of the plane. I'll try to deviate from the same colours in the future, but the R169-200 will still feature the red livery, cause it fits as an evolution of this one
Dear god, NO
Unhelpful comment.
I think this is a pretty nifty-looking little plane and I would be very interested to see you expand the lineup of this company. The engine arrangement is a nice change from the under-wing engines we're so used to seeing. My one point of concern is the wing, I'm not sure if the shape is ideal for a jet airliner. I could be completely wrong on this, but I wonder if a more swept wing would be better for an aircraft like this.
I appreciate your support. I actually took the triangular shape from a real aircraft called the YC-15, which would later be developed into the C-17, although the C-17 didn't retain that wing design
Aerodynamics go splat.
