The '''Jet''' is a [[Fixed-Wing Aircraft|four-engine twin-deck jet airliner]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. It can be found at [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|Los Santos International Airport]]. It is the first controllable commercial wide-body aircraft in the HD Universe, and the second in the series after the [[AT-400]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

===Design===
===Design===
The Jet is based on the [[:wp:Boeing 747-400|Boeing 747-400]]. It is the second largest controllable vehicle in the game, only smaller than the Cargo Plane.  Jets with multiple liveries can be seen taking off and landing at Los Santos International Airport and parked near the terminal. A Jet can be entered pressing the enter vehicle button while standing near the plane. Oddly, no animation exists for entering the plane - the player will simply warp into the cockpit at this point.

Jets come in the liveries of three airlines - [[Adios Air]] (DHL yellow), [[FlyUS]] (eurowhite with red trim), and [[Air Herler]] (white with blue trim).
===Handling===
===Handling===
The bulky appearance of the Jet betrays its unrealistic handling. It is on par with the [[Shamal]] and the [[Luxor]] in this aspect, and it is faster than the two private propeller planes in the game. It is harder to manoeuvre in the air because of its size and weight, but stunts can be easily performed while flying. On the ground, the Jet responds unrealistically quickly to rudder turns. The heaviness of the plane on the ground is only felt when taking off - the body of the aircraft takes a good two to three seconds longer to lift off the ground together with the nose.

*The passenger windows of the plane light up at night if the engines are turned on. Realistically, the lights will shut off after a few seconds, as the engines run down, when a pilot exits the plane.

*The Jet cannot be parked in either protagonist's hangar; although this is a very minor inconvenience, seeing as there are a large number of them conveniently parked around the airport.

*Molly Schultz is sucked through the engine of an Air Herler [[Jet]] in [[Legal Trouble]].
*If a single engine is damaged, owing to game mechanics, the other 3 engines will fail after protracted flying. After a number of compressor surges, the engines will shut down.
**Damage caused to the outer engines are reflected only on the adjacent engines - for example, if the player shoots up engine 4 on the starboard, engine 3 will smoke and surge in flight.
*Due to its bulky weight, the Jet can only be glided for short distances - roughly 2 or 3 lengths of the Jet. It is recommended that the player lands as soon as possible upon encountering damage.

*The Jet is not available in [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] as of patch v1.11. This is likely due to the toll it may take on cloud servers.
