Fouga CM-175 Zephyr

The Wiki:

The Fouga Zéphyr (company designation CM.175) was a 1950s French two-seat carrier-capable jet trainer for the French Navy. It was developed from the land-based CM.170 Magister. It was replaced in 1994. The Zéphyr differed from the Magister in being equipped with an arrester hook and a modified structure and undercarriage strengthened for carrier operations. The Zéphyr also included a nose-mounted light. As it did not have ejection seats, the Zéphyr had new sliding canopy hoods which could be locked open during carrier launchings and landings. One six-round rocket pod could be mounted under each wing for weapons training. Two guns could be fitted in the nose, but these were seldom carried. Thirty-two aircraft were delivered.

Controls and Features:

-Standard SP Flight Controls
-VTOL for Flaps
-Trim for Trim
-Ag1 for Landing Lights
-Ag2 for Tailhook

For Carrier Takeoff:

-Attach to Catapult
-Flaps @~40%
-Full throttle and release
-Retract flaps; gear - Trim as needed

For Carrier Landing:

-Reduce throttle to 20%
-Flaps full down
-Ag2 to deploy Tailhook
-Trim for approach angle
-Keep speed @150 mph or slightly higher.

Features:

-Custom Control Surfaces
-Fowler flaps
-Custom Paint & Decals
-Custom Gear
-Wing pylons for rocket pods

As Always:

A tribute to the brand new USS Beast that came with 1.8. A neat trainer IMHO, and even more so as it is carrier-capable. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!
