The Harrier, informally referred to as the Harrier Jump Jet, is a family of military jet aircraft capable of vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) operations. The Harrier was developed in Britain to operate from ad-hoc facilities such as car parks or forest clearings, avoiding the need for large air bases vulnerable to tactical nuclear weapons. Later the design was adapted for use from aircraft carriers. The Harrier is also distinct as being of modern era, yet subsonic.

    Looks great CK, and fun to fly. It's really hard for me to mod due to overlaps, but think it could do with the CoT and CoM aligning more because it's a little tail heavy in VTOL, but nose heavy in flight. Great job.

    I had trouble flying it but mostly cause I'm not good. Great plane! I love how the wings were used to make angles!
