Flying Fish VTOL

315 Vilhelmzen  7 days ago

This is the civilian variant of the Sea Dragon, my take on the world's most versatile aircraft. No heavy munitions to slow you down here, just an absurdly fast utilitarian adventure seaplane.

Trim tab controls the exhaust nozzles because the VTOL tab actuates both the flaps and wingtip pontoons. Activate group 1 to release BRS parachutes, group 2,3,4 are blank, group 5 controls lights, group 6 arms the wingtip pontoons, so they can be controlled independently from the flaps. Group 7 activates the gyroscope for stable vertical flight as well as improved taxiing on the water. It also activates the thrust nozzle direction to allow the trim to be set independently of your thrust vector. Group 8 is the ignition switch. Enjoy!
