* Fictional *
Given the lack of a real aircraft carrier, the Italian engineers developed a vertical takeoff and landing version from the Macchi M-46. All the previous revolutionary sixth generation features have remained, so the air has variable sweep wings, the retractable vertical rudder, the weapons hidden inside the fuselage until you have to use them, is a stealth with a very low RCS , and it is hypersonic.
The transformation from an aircraft extremely easy to fly like a trainer when it has wings extended to hypersonic stealth interceptor takes place in a few moments and is truly incredible, the plane is revolutionized as a transformer.
* USER MANUAL *
AG1 – Enable/Disable the weapons bay.
AG2/3/4/5 – Missiles
AG6 - Enable/Disable VTOL engine (if disabled, it shut off, it not remain in the previous state)
AG7 - Enable/Disable main engine (if disabled, it shut off, it not remain in the previous state)
AG8 – Enable/disable the low RCS-high speed mode.
B – wheels brakes
VTOL DOWN + AG1 enabled – Extract missiles
VTOL DOWN + AG8 enabled – Wings will be sweeped backward, the vertical stabilizer will be retracted, and the plane will become extremely speed and agile.
VTOL CENTERED + AG8 enabled – normal flight mode.
Disabling AG8 and/or AG1 leave you in the chosen mode, and let you move the VTOL for other controls
VTOL UP – Airbrakes for low speed flight (you can use it also patialized, and with engine on. Need a bit of TRIM)
VTOL UP + AG6 Enabled and AG7 Disabled - Configuration for vertical takeoff and landing
VTOL UP + AG6 and AG7 Enabled - Configuration for very short takeoff (the plane jump in air and forward together)
* DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIGHT WITH AG6 ENABLED! *
