CONTROLS:
AG 2,3,4: Ripple fire bombs (4 each). It is prefferable to launch them in that order but that isn't necessary (collisions should not happen. Keyword is should.)
VTOL: Flaps Up/Down (inverted)
Trim: trim
The S.PM-145 Boitatá (Name taken from a creature in Tupi mythology) is a maritime patrol aircraft curiously geared exclusively for combat against surface threats, with very little in terms of equipment that could be used for ASW, with a secondary mission as a bomber. Though it resembles a regional jet, it was purpose-designed from a clean sheet, as evidenced by its large canopy.
Though it is certified for heavier loads, typically it carries two weapon pylons with three anti-ship missiles each. It also carries 12 500-pound bombs in an internal fuselage bay.

@Mustang51 Thank you! By the way, I uploaded that boat I was talking to you about some days ago. I did put a VTOL engine and a lot (in exeperiments, more than what's in the uploaded version even) of RCS nozzles, but sadly that didn't correct control inversion at high speed. It did improve low speed handling though, so it was a great help!
@FlyingHueman this is pretty cool! It really does give the maritime patrol aircraft vibe. Well Made!
@Liensis To be fair, most land-based maritime patrol aircraft are indeed airliners adapted for military use. The P-3 Orion is built upon the Lockheed Electra, the P-8 Poseidon is built upon the Boeing 737-800. Purpose-built maritime patrol aircraft sometimes end up looking like airliners too, like the Kawasaki P-1.
It looks like an airliner armed for combat.
Must be a very critical situation in the country it serves.
