Title : Flare
Type : Attacker-Fighter

short description

A small light and cheap fighter/attack aircraft. Technologically simple, but not very survivable. Great for quick and massive attacks on vital enemy supply installations, but can only compete against its own kind in open combat.

The rocket engine and lift propulsion system consume a lot of fuel, which, combined with the small size of the vehicle itself, creates the inconvenience of having all the free space taken up by the fuel tanks and ammunition.

The pilots don't like this plane much and joke that they fly on a fuel barrel. And they're almost right, because the central fuel tank is located right under the cockpit floor. The fire extinguisher and survival kit in the cockpit, for lack of space, look like a mockery in this situation.

some instructions

1. Do not switch from VTOL to airplane mode while the warning lights are flashing. It is possible to stall and/or crash.
2. The landing gear is designed for vertical takeoff and landing only. Attempting to take off with acceleration can end badly.

Good Luck surviving crush!
