Sikorsky Raider-X
75 ColeWiegand
26 days ago
My second model, this time based on the cancelled FARA program’s proposal from Sikorsky. This design is a combined helicopter with coaxial main rotors and a tail pusher. The weapons bay holds 4 infernos and 14 rockets. A 30mm cannon on the front allows quick engagements. The cockpit is modeled after a full glass cockpit setup and is fully VR compatible. Controls for pitch/yaw/roll are normal, main rotor power is supplied by throttle, thrust is managed by the VTOL slider, and pusher throttle is the Trim slider. The weapons bay is opened by AG1. Once again, I made this without gyroscopes, the CoM is behind the CoL, so you can adjust trim with the collective once at speed. Please let me know what I can improve for later!
