AO-01 "BIRD OF STEEL"

A concept for an attack ornithopter (inspired by Dune).
Unlike a standard aircraft, this thing flies by flapping it's wings. There were some attempts in real life to make one, but they proved too complex and inpractical. There was one made (French) but was destroyed during wind tunnel testing because of weak material strength.
Anway, about this
It actually flies by flapping wings. It can fly in low physics setting but high or medium setting is recommended.

Controls

Activate2 for JATO(Jet Assisted Take Off)
Activate1 to Boosted Dive
Activate3 to fold wings
Activate4 for Lights
For weapons it has two machine guns and two rocket pod. Flare(120) and chaff(60) allso available. Has a cockpit, but nothing is fitted inside.

DONT USE THROTTLE ON THE GROUND. USE IT ONLY AFTER TAKE OFF.

Enjoy
