What are these plane powered by? Fuel or actually some hydrophil like substence like water or something similar?

The turbine is powered by fossil fuels but most of the energy comes from wing batteries

I was slightly confused since both the refuiling pipe as well as the tanks have this light blue tint to them.

Actually that big pipe is an air-conditioning supply to keep the plane cool

I absolutely love the design of this vehicle, it reminds me of the A-10 in many ways, most notably the landing gear housing mounted on the wings.
Fantastic job!

Definitely the same role as the A-10, but not as robust as fuel is hard to come by so it has to be light

As it gets so hot on the Kiln surface, do at least some Birrin have towns or even entire cities similar to Coober Pedy as it would make perfect sense to me to live deep underground in the region that takes most of the land area on Chriirah?

Yep they have settled parts of it, as well as in deep canyons

I have imagined some of them even starting to "permanently" live underground as a means to adapt to the "new" hot house of a world they now live in. Might they burrow their equivalent of Dwarrowdelf?

the completeness of your vision of the Birrin is most impressive.

Amazing picture and well thought design.
To bad that prop-plane era ended so fast

Yeah the Birrin love props now that they are worried about CO2 from jet engines

Very interesting concept for the cockpit, or the energy saving measures for the engines. Given the nature of the Kiln and of birrin biology, aircraft lacking windows and using electronic visual feeds makes plenty of sense. Pity we humans probably couldn't emulate such a design, since we don't have as many eyes as the birrin. The cockpit doubling as a rescue pod is also well thought out.
It is pretty interesting what a major role aviation technology played in the gradual renewed exploration of the Kiln region and the extraction of its pre-Fall ruins and treasures. Too bad the socio-economic setup of the renewed technological civilisation probably doesn't allow for rogue groups of birrin prospectors causing trouble in the Kiln. Birrin sky pirates, fending off government aerial forces as cover for ground units of illegal scavengers, could be a cool element for the setting. But I'm guessing it's really just the occassional insurgents, with decidedly less advanced technology and less manpower.

Oh there are for sure rogues out hunting for treasure in the Kiln

Something you don't see - weeds on the ground!
The aircraft look alien but not stupid - excellent work sir
