You know, just because someone is a plane doesn't mean they're interested in all the highly demanding technical training required to be a flight captain. They might just be happy enough to take passengers and let other people have all the hard work of supporting flying.

Although I didn't copy anything specifically I owe  CrizBN thanks for some fine aeromorph pictures that finally let me start to understand the structure of one, eg, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50958006/ and https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50741124/ (they have no idea I used their pictures as reference so don't put any blame on them for how this turned out).

Turns out that long horizontal stripe running the length of the fuselage is called a 'cheatline', which distracts the eye from the windows and makes the plane look more sleek.
