The one bit I’m not entirely happy with is the way it requires clear bricks
as a support to stay on its wheels but that’s because LEGO engines are light

Actually, there are Real World times when planes have to have their tails
propped up to keep the nose gear on the ground. Below for instance is a row of
KC-135 aerial tankers:

You can see the poles below the tails of each plane holding up the rear to stop
the nose gear from rising. So you can just pretend that your plane is fully
loaded in the cargo area and needs to be supported. :-)
