Description

AviaTech W4A (AEW&C)

The W4A {Watcher, Type 4, Version A) is an Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft designed by AviaTech and produced by both AviaTech and Beleit for the MNDC's Naval Air Forces, and later for the SFAU's Federate Naval Forces. The A variant features twin turboprop engines, a rudimentary fly-by-wire system, and a small bay in the back for mounting additional sensors to add to its existing suite, which can only provide so much coverage for surveillance and communication. Later variants would integrate these systems along with more advanced ones, as well as more powerful engines.


Creator's note

the fighter jet burnout is real (still stay tuned for the CAAC FpX though, I'll do that... eventually.)

    If your rear landing gears are on the same height as Ur front, you can reuse the same short gear, nevermind the gear the plane still looks lovely

    @YarisSedan didn't feel like making a custom landing gear, but the wheels and shaft are meant to be thicker yes

    @SIRCOMMANDER031 you're not the first to say that the W4 looks like a conventional layout Osprey lol
