INNOVATION F-900 thunderbird

112 QuantumRandomness  3.5 years ago

this is a futuristic forward swept wing aircraft that relies on artificial stability from a fly by wire. however despite it's frward swept wing design it is not very manuverable on the pitch axis due to the artificial stability. the reccommended landing speed is anything greater than 100mph. this is because if the speed is lower than 100mph the fly by wire will deactivate and make the plane unstable. because of the high landing speeds needed to maintain sucessfull landing i have installed a parachute which can be deployed with AG1. this makes it easier to stop this plane on normal runways. there is also a arresting cable hook for landing on aircraft carriers. it does not like flying straight up verticaly into the air. the plane can use some tuning so feel free to copy this plane and release better verions of it.
