W-13B Harpie (VTOL STOL Fighter)
CW Military Technologies has created a modified version of the W-13A, now with VTOL and STOL capabilities :) The engineers here for some reason are intrigued with the vertical lift of helicopters but hate all the blades...here is the solution! A ground attack jet that now has superiority over other jets before it. Have fun strafing the enemy convoys while barraging them with rockets and machine gun fire.
The original W-13A had an internal weapons bay and front canards but these were removed and replaced with internal thrust engines and RCN's. The delta wing design creates a large amount of lift for the aircraft while the nozzles and large horizontal stabilizers allow it to handle with precision. I bet you can't guess the top speed!? Okay I guess I'll release the juicy details...this haus can reach an astounding 800mph+ in forward flight! All the heli pilots are jealous and just don't want to admit it.
This bad boy is equipped with two mini guns, six air-to-ground missiles, and two rocket pods for maximum destruction.
CONTROLS
•1+Throttle (VTOL engines)
•2+VTOL slider (Booster engine)
•3 (Navigation lights)
•Hover/takeoff at 70% throttle
•VTOL Takeoff:
-Trim down, 1+2, throttle to 100%, once at 500ft above starting point, quickly move VTOL slider up 100% and use trim and roll to stabilize. This is the trickiest part because it will want to start nose down but corrects itself. Retract gear
•STOL Takeoff:
-VTOL slider 25% up, throttle 100%, 2+1 in that order!, once at 500ft above start point, move VTOL slider quickly to 100% and stabilize. Retract gear
Used two xml parts (two miniguns). Also you can easily replace the missiles with air-to-air missiles no problem
