Blackburn Basilisk B.2b

Gents,

This is a proposed update of the Blackburn Basilisk. She utilises stealth technology, designed by the fine chaps at BoscombebDown, to defeat enemy AA and A2A detection systems systems through reducing her radar cross section (this is a side effect of her flying wing / blended wing design) and her IR signature (through advanced jet nozzle technology and other such “cheating”.).

A side effect of all this stealthy, stealthy, stealth is a reduced thrust to weight ratio and a resulting reduced overall payload. This is acceptable, however, as the fictional proposed role of this fictional, proposed kite is to carry out fictional, proposed tactical first strikes against fictional advanced enemies.

Controls are;

Vtol - trim.
Trim - flaps (this is reversed from the norm).
Ag7 - lights
Ag3 - weapons bay doors
Ag4 - jettison stores (make sure the weapons bay is open, or it will result in a decidedly non stealthy explosion, which will not really be an issue for you, on account of you being dead).

That is all.
