X-Plane 11.40+ Boeing RC-1 "Brute Lifter" 1.0. The Boeing RC-1, short for "Resource Carrier 1", was a design for an enormous cargo aircraft intended to haul oil and minerals out of the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada where ice-free ports were not available. It was optimized for short-haul missions only, carrying cargo to locations for loading onto ships, trains or pipelines. Depending on the role, the design was nicknamed "Brute Lifter" or "Flying Pipeline". The RC-1 was designed in the early 1970s. The rapid increase in jet fuel prices after 1973 doomed the project to be uneconomical. Documentation included in the package. By Billy Bargagliotti.
