This os experiment i conducted. It first involved jumping, then parachuting, then junping and parachuting. It started with the cockpit falling when jumping, so i added wings on the sides for balance. But then i thought about drag, so i added more to the wings. But it only stopped the falling by a little bit, so i added a propeller at the top. But when it tilted, the parachute would go out of control, so i addded RCNs on the bottom of the springs. The VTOL engine is covered in RCNs to prevent collision and fall damage. The experiment was not a complete success, but almost there. It falls slowly by thrust and drag, both being balanced.
