Taipan AT-12STOLAC

8,395 GJW14  7.7 years ago

An expirimental version of the AT-12C, the STOL spin-off is designed to operate from small fields. This is the STOL Concept A version C, which features rotating engines and wings. It was been tested to speeds of up to 500 MPH but is potentially capable of well over that speed. The moving wings also means that the aircraft should be very good at strafing with appropriate modification. Again, like the rest of it's family, this aircraft is best at ground attack. To fly: 1. Start at airport. 2. Full VTOL down. 3. Full thorottle. 4. Wings and engines up for regular flight. On approach: Use airbrakes until you get to about 200 MPH, then full VTOL down. Apply thrust and pitch as necessary.
