The McDonnell Douglas MD-12 is a fictional, double-deck, wide-body, four-engine commercial airliner.

From the developer:

"Isaias Prestes originally made the MD-12 concept for FlightGear. Unfourtanately, he didn't appear to have a good set of drawings. Since then some better drawings emerged, so just for fun I tried to improve the 3D a bit with my limited skills.

I also put some of the old 3D XML instruments into the cockpit, and improved them slightly. And a generic but "okay-ish" flight model that might behave something like what a plane of this configuration should.

Ultimately, yes, you can fly this. But it's not a real plane, just a concept that might have existed in another timeline. So don't expect me to do anything except update IT Autoflight with my auto-push script!" [1]
