Hi,

I am having a little design crisis, I am making a Plane class, which is made of

an engine

2 wings

and N seats

The engine takes in a engine size, and the wings have a span.

would this still be feasible to have a PlaneFactory, when the factory may have to take in multiple parameters to setup the plane (wings, engine, no of seats)

thanks in advance
