Main constraintPayload
No exact match — but there is a route forward

That brief asks one aircraft to bend a little too much physics (or accounting). There is no honest exact match, so these are the closest workable directions.

Try changing:
  • Raise the purchase budget to about €1.75m, or allow an older/smaller aircraft.

The models below are near-matches, not recommendations that satisfy every filter.
