ME 362 Rakete Flugzeug

6,318 BurkeAircraft1  4.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on NexusGaming's Tailsitter Challenge (my first challenge)

A fictional rocket powered tailsitting interceptor that isn’t to far from reality Germany needed interceptors desperately, tailsitters wouldn’t need long easily bomb-able runways

Takeoff and landing

Takeoff like a hybrid between a vtol plane and rocket climb in altitude while slowly leveling out

Landing should be easy just climb above the runway press the landing gear button let the aircraft settle then hit the throttle until it starts falling at around 10 mph and keep it there using the throttle

The rocket only turns on at 100 percent throttle

You need a vertical spawn to takeoff from the ground

Enjoy

    I used a vtol engine and if you set the input over one it starts to break up the exhaust

    Logicality: 30 / 50 points, it'd be a cheap conversion from the V2 rocket
    Performance: 135 / 200 points, Way to maneuverable but otherwise nice. Also the need for a vertical spawnpoint is annoying
    Appearance: 75 / 75, noice
    Functions: 125 / 125 points, nice idea with the rocket only turning on at 100%
    Total: 365 / 450 points, nice idea, just needs some tweaking. Can you tell me how you did the rocket engine exhaust and the black lines inside the engine?
