The sea Kestrel is a 1960s Royal navy inspired vtol carrier strike fighter. Aircraft designed by @Tazziedevil04 and built by me. Intended for air to ground strike missions the kestrel is a heavily armed aircraft with 4 agm missiles, 4 rocket pods, 2 aam missiles and a boom 50 bomb.Take of and landing is easiest at a VTOL setting of 45° but can also be done vertically. Landing completely horizontally is not recommended.
AG1 - Aircraft carrier tailhook, AG2 - Lights, AG3 release payload and armaments, AG8 Gyroscope and VTOL control nozzles.
Special thanks @Tazziedevil04 for the design idea and initial drawings, it is a great design!
