SAF Fusilier CG-71E was an exploration aircraft designed for the Spiros Aerial Forces; and featured many experimental design choices such as a helipad where the X5 “Chagrin” Microlight VTOL aircraft was stored (an experimental military aircraft), along with a cargo area where the Reratillo TW4 Reconnaisance 3x3 vehicle was stored. The Fusilier was praised for its multirole capabilities and innovative features, though it was rather slow with a top speed of 95mph (152km/h) because of all the equipment it carried. The “Chagrin” was able to navigate effectively, but had poor performance at high speeds, leading it to be replaced in later CG-71E models. The 12,200HP Bentley “Ollie” FG6 engines were manufactured specially for the Fusilier, and by the time it entered service in 2021 the military had already placed orders for 300 based off the impressive performance of the prototypes. The Fusilier continued to operate in Exploration, reconnaissance, and (with a modified version) attack roles before its eventual retirement in 2058.

Controls

• Throttle for Fusilier engines
• AG 1 for Fusilier avionics (Pitch and roll)
• AG 1 Trim up for Fusilier internal engines
• AG 1 VTOL up for cargo bay door
• AG 2 to activate X5 “Chagrin” Microlight VTOL Aircraft avionics (Pitch, roll and yaw)
• AG 2 VTOL up for “Chagrin” engines
• AG 3 to activate Reratillo TW4 (Pitch and roll to drive)
• AG 8 for navigation lights

Control Notes

• Hover at 92%
• Do not attempt to takeoff “Chagrin” with excessive climb rate; only perform takeoff and landing in steady hovering flight.
• Only have one vehicle activated at any given time
