The XA-50 is a proof of concept aircraft. It is an Attack type plane equipped with AWACS technology to enable long range locks. It also experiments with the airframe as it implements variable angle of incidence wings.
Controls:
AG1: Drop additional fuel tanks
AG2: Activate gyro (the gyro is usefull for easier in-air refueling and exiting flat spins)
When losing control of the plane you need to activate the gyro which will put the plane into a flat spin, then roll into the spin and put max rudder in the other direction while pitching up to slow down the fall. Once you exit the spin and regain enough speed you can turn the gyro off.
