Sea Raven

8,952 hardy57  1.9 years ago

The Sea Raven is a fuel cell driven stealth sea plane with 2 vehicles inside, an auto pilot system, functioning cockpit and very quiet engines.
There are 2 amphibious crafts which can also be dropped from the air.
One vehicle can be remote controlled from the other and they can also be synchronized.

This is a very fictional plane!!!

A little back-story:
The plane was developed for the military in the early 1980s as a prototype.
Its special capability is to fly only a few meters over ground or water with the auto pilot system.
Unfortunately, fuel cell technology was deemed to expensive at the time and the project was discontinued.

Operation:
Everything in the cockpit is there for a reason – no eye candy.
The checklist in the craft instructions can be used to make full use of the planes potential.
Watch the Engine-RPMs on high altitudes!
The auto pilots may also not work well on high altitudes.
The doors open or don’t open automatically, depending on being on land, water or air.
The plane also works well on water, switch “Eng Yaw” to “on” for better maneuverability.
The “Rovers” work well on land but are a bit tricky to driver on water. (No Drag!)
All controls are labeled and the gauges in the vehicles show what the wheels or jets are doing.

Enjoy!
