Funny looking plane, I am afraid you have to redefine aerodynamics
to make it fly, but who cares as long as it looks good :)

What did you use to generate the POV file from the Autocad design?
Last week as an experiment I tried to convert a design from the
medical technology development group in our hospital to pov-ray.
It was designed in Autocad 2000 (or actually Mechanical desktop)
I could not find a decent translator on the web. Either it did
not convert, I could not get the tool to work, it told me it could 
not handle autocad 2000 yet, or there was no trial version 
available. Saving it in older fileformats also did not work for me. 
Finally I saved it as a VRML file, wrote a simple parser to 
extract the triangles and interpolate the normals to get 
smooth_triangle's and got it to work that way. I still have 
some problems with the triangulation because there were a lot of
cylinders fitting exactly in cylindrical holes. With that the 
triangles from the inner en outer cylinders overlap and I get bandy
objects if they have different colors.
