The Cyclone is a large jet plane unlocked at level 26 that has 12 slots for cargo/passengers. The M is a balanced version, containing 6 passengers and 6 cargo. The Cyclone is not as bad as people think it is. The cyclone doesn't make much flying to random destinations. In order to make decent profits, it needs to fly with a 25% bonus. While a Cyclone often makes less profit over a single flight compared to a Sequoia (16,077 coins vs. 17,480 coins respectively, for a flight between Los Angeles and Tokyo at level 4 upgrades), it has a significantly higher profit per hour (12,521 coins/h vs. 8,759 coins/h for the same flight). This often leads players with a fast-paced playstyle to choose the Cyclone, while players who like to play slow prefer the Sequoia.
It has the same appearance as the Fogbuster but with four engines and an extended fuselage. Like most Class 3 planes, the Cyclone has a rather cartoonish and bulbous appearance, making distinguishing any real life inspirations rather difficult. Unlike any real life quad-jet, the Cyclone has a T-tail. Real life quad-jet aircraft with a single deck and high-bypass turbofan engines like this are the Airbus A340, Ilyushin Il-96, Boeing 707-700 and Douglas DC-8 Super 70; however none of these aircraft bear much aesthetical similarity beyond having the same basic layout.
