I took some liberty with the twin tail design, changing the twin-boom a standard fuselage, with two vertical stabs on a wide, horizontal tail.

0:38 Actually that is not entirely true. Medical airplanes do exist. They are mostly used to transport passengers from remote areas to properly equipped hospitals fast or to take travelers who got into an accident abroad home. Those planes don't always need a proper runways either, there are plenty of airplanes which can land on relatively short runways/on grass strips. I mean to be fair, those plans won't be able to land directly at the site of the emergency but helicopters can't do that always either 6:00 That is not true either. There are plenty of turboprop aircraft still in active service to this day like the lockheed martin c-130

0:42 sorry I have to point this out but you’re wrong. I work in aviation and know friends who work for the royal flying doctor. The point of an fixed winged aircraft instead of a rotor wing aircraft is to go longer distances. Usually the casualty is out in a rural area. Helicopters are used in floods or areas with low accessibility and short distance. But yeah the design for this aircraft is unusual especially seeing the air ambulances themselves.

6:00 That isn't even remotely true.

[@kennethcox9760]

In my opinion, I hate the plane for 2020. This is because of the fact that there is only six seats inside. Another reason is since they focused too much on the minifigs and plane, the terminal is too simplistic. This is probably because lego has becoming really overpriced in the last couple of years. The named characters in the set are distracting from the fact of the low seat count. Just look at the amount of windows, then look at product images of the inside of the plane and you'll agree. The cargo space and vehicle also distract from the fact that that there are only six seats. The small terminal, named characters from Lego City Adventures, and only SIX freaking seats just goes to show how far Lego has come in the last couple of decades in the City airplane line, right?

"Essentially turning it into a helicopter", incase you didn't know, that's called VTOL - Vertical Take-Off and Landing. That way it can land vertically, without need for a runway.

You forgot the other coast guard sea plane, it was more traditional than the one in this video and my only criticism of it is that it has no room outside of the cockpit, however you can take the guts out of the centre where the wings are and replace them will smaller pieces and it opens up the back of the plane with heaps of space, while still remaining structurally sound.
