APA-86 "Charlotte"

Since late 2020, after the successful release of Alexandria, Charlotte has been in the works. Designed to not only outperform Alexandria, but to completely change, and improve the technology of the craft. Not to mention, the first supersonic production ever.

Like many other designs, Charlotte went through many designs. First on blueprint, then in game.  For nearly 7 months she's been put through rigorous fine tuning, and developmental changes, and after painstakingly doing so for so long, I feel like she's ready to meet her audience.

Boasting a devastating ground and air arsenal, like all 140 productions, she's ,of course, all purpose.

Ground Weapons:

6×torpedo
6×boom 50
6×boom 25
8×(modified) inferno

Air Weapons:
15×(modified) Guardians

Others:
2×burst fire miniguns

Okay so cool, she has weapons. But what I love about Charlotte is her next level technical design. She boasts a wonderful cockpit, Given to me by Zanedavid, in which I've added serveral knobs, and a working reticle.

The landing gear is all custom, rather simple, and the front needed more work, but I've exhausted my ability to work any further on this one build.

Infernos have their own hidden flaps just under the wings (tap Air to Ground, then select the weapon to activate it)

The cockpit has an emergency ejection (AG6)

Slightly custom airbrakes

The weapons bay is a completely improved version of my last. (AG 2 to engage all ground weaponry, deactivate 2 and select Guardian from Air to Air to enable those missiles)

IN ORDER TO TAKE OFF, DISABLE AG 8 TO ENABLE SYSTEMS, AND 7 TO ENGAGE ENGINES

Charlotte is refined in the art of flight, and has been designed to cruise anywhere from 300mph to 1900mph, giving you the ability to accurately erase targets, and escape hotzones.

Special thanks to everyone for their kind words during the processes of this build. Without it, I wouldn't have made it as far along as I had
