SHADO 'Kingfisher' VTOL Heli-Jet Aircraft that can be deployed for transportation or reconnaissance. It is a very fast and efficient way to get S.H.A.D.O. personnel to a target destination.The Kingfisher can hover, take off, and land vertically. It can also operate in other modes as well, such as CTOL (conventional take-off and landing), STOL (short take-off and landing), or STOVL (short take-off and vertical landing). VTOL is a subset of V/STOL (vertical or short take-off and landing). Generally speaking, VTOL aircraft capable of STOVL use it wherever possible, since it typically significantly increases takeoff weight, range or payload compared to purely employing VTOL.
VTOL takeoff:
1. VTOL down
2. Throttle to at least 50%
3. When at least 1,000ft up, VTOL to neutral.
4. When at least 300mhp, disable AG8
Conventional takeoff:
