The Edge is a next generation vtol aircraft designed and built by Vonteco Industries. The Edge was built around a powerful lift fan / jet thrust system inspired by the F35 that allows the aircraft to take off or land vertically anywhere without the need of a runway. This aircraft is capable of taking off vertically and seamlessly transitioning to conventional flight or vice versa. Equipped with (2) V-27 canons and a large internal weapons bay the aircraft can be used as a attack, fighter, recon or bomber.

@Texasfam04
No problem, you deserve it. I love how your getting more and more detailed with your builds and adding more functionality. Keep up the good work!
TY Johnny! Believe it or not this build was really difficult, all the nudging and sizing of everything. plus, the entire plane is built around the custom lift fan so that made everything more challenging. TY again for the vote buddy
@JohnnyBoythePilot
Neato!
TY @JShay for the upvote!
sure, it will take some time, this entire plane is built around the lift fan so i will have to change the center fuselage up a bit. but it sounds like a fun project 😁@MI
@Texasfam04 ah ok i will turn my physics to high then
i never experienced that in testing. ive been told if physics is set on low weird things happen sonetimes. i keep my settings all on high and never experienced it. sorry @StandTall
@Texasfam04 also did you notice that when in vtol mode it has a tendency to spin?
@Texasfam04 ah ok
If you have enough fuel and skill yes you can land inside the kraken. Fire a cleaver for easier access 😂 TY for the upvote as well i appreciate it@StandTall
@Texasfam04 so this can land anywhere? even inside the kraken?
@Texasfam04 Im sorry fam but looking at the part count my PC wont handle a test unless i wanna get 0.5 fps XD
TY for the upvote @iraben
TY btw!@MakeshiftPlanes
i dont think so but its good to see you back 😁@MakeshiftPlanes
Did i reply on this crazy well made thing yet?
Thanks and np! @Texasfam04
TY bud, sure thing! you can put up anything i upload 😁@Strikefighter04
cool its always exciting seeing your new builds. 😁@EliteArsenals24
@Texasfam04 Can't wait just tag me in your next build. Gonna post sonething tomorrow. Not much but it's nice I think haha
This is actually pretty stud worthy! I like the fan in the middle, and the lights next to them. I also like how it resembles the F-117 from side view. May it enter SimpleLandian military service?
TY! im glad u like it 😁@Crazyinferno376
TY bud, i appreciate the spot, upvote and kind comment. i had planned to build a cockpit for it but the part count was already slowing my ipad down a bit. maybe next time @EliteArsenals24
I can’t get enough of this. Best vtol plane ever
