The Seavector programme was developed in the 1970s, by Goss aerospace, in order to test the tactical feasibility of a super-maneuverable deck-based fighter. Butler aircraft decided to turn Goss’s subsonic testbed into a high performance fighter. After many years of delays, a prototype emerged in 1988, which was pitched to the States. The only prototype constructed was purchased by a private research agency to test thrust vectoring systems. Flaps are retracted with gear. Group 1 for wing folding. Group 2 for carrier arrestor gear... Enjoy!

    Very controllable thrust vectoring, It pretty much goes as hard as it can and never loses control and spins out
