Auto Credit Based on Edwards's BIG EKRANOPLAN

I was working on an ekranoplan, untill i realized that ground effect isnt modelled in yet, so i just said to myself "lets turn this into an hydroplane" and... this came out
Might be the biggest airplane i've ever built in any game, and by far it is the one with the most engines, with 22 low altitude optimized jets, this beast can reach speeds above mach 1 if you try to, but it is surely the most fuel efficient at mach 0.8-0.75.
It has a substantial cargo bay at the front, the nose works as the opening.
it doesnt have landing grear, this is purely a seaplane, it has airbrakes though, use slider 1 to control those.
to takeoff, simply get the throttle all the way to 100%, get the pitch all the way back pulling the nose up, and wait... when you reach around 60-70ms, you'll start picking up speed faster and faster, after that you'll just leave the water.
Landing is really easy, as it can be done with speeds as high as 130ms, just be sure not to slam the thing into the water.
If you want to make takeoffs les painfully slow, or get some really heavy cargo in there, just remove some of the fuel from the wings, this thing has enough fuel to go pretty much anywhere and back.
Adn that pretty much wraps it up, this is just a really big cargo plane i made because i was bored, hope you have a nice flight, good luck.
