Velum 5-Seater

The Jobuilt Velum 5-Seater is a fixed-wing aircraft introduced in Grand Theft Auto Online, taking the form of a light propeller driven, single-engine monoplane. It was featured in the Heists Update.

Design
The design of the aircraft is mostly a combination between the TBM 850 and the Piper PA-46 Malibu Meridian, with a tail-fin similar to that of a Piper PA-31 Navajo.

In-game, the Velum 5-Seater is based on the original Velum, except that, as the name suggests, has five seats. This Velum has two main seats in the front, two rear-facing seats and another seat in the right side of the plane. There's a functional rear door and the interior was also glamoured up with leather seats, similar to the Luxor.

Performance
Just like the TBM 850 and the Velum, it's one of the fastest light aircraft built in real life, having a top speed just below that of the Mallard. It is a decently maneuverable aircraft, and it has very responsive turning and handling. Its long wingspan may prevent it from being as agile as other planes in the game, but it is very stable in flight. It does, however, need a relatively long stretch of land in order to take off. Its durability is average, as it can take a modest amount of gunfire before its engine fails and it becomes unflyable.

The Velum 5 Seater retains the original performance and capabilities of its four-seater counterpart, but can hold more people, and can provide easier access for players, making it a good transport plane in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Appearances
The 5-Seater is introduced in the Prison Break setup mission Prison Break - Plane, where it was used by the Vagos to transport drugs. The same was stolen by the Online team as a setup vehicle.

Later, it's used in The Prison Break, to pick up Maxim Rashkovsky from the ground and escort the latter out of the country. When Rashkovsky is safe, he takes the plane out of the country after he gains control, as well as after the team parachute out.
