Panavia Cutlass II 4.7

233k RamboJutter  5.9 years ago

Based on a "what if" Panavia designed a "modern" Cutlass, so it has thrust vectoring, small canards for balancing controls when fully loaded and when airbrakes are deployed, load capacity similar to the infamous Thud.

When fully loaded it can be a handful, you can do a bit of a cobra manoever on takeoff if your careful =) Once unloaded its a pleasure to fly about. When bombing its advisable to keep positive g on to assist with bomb release, lob bombing was a technique used by the Buccaneer and theres even a video of a Vulcan doing it, so its not unusual for a british aircraft.

Landings should be carried out unloaded and above 150mph with some positive angle of attack (extended oleo doesnt help landings but its a handy thing for takeoff)

AG1 activates engines, extends front wheel olio and lowers wings, LG retracts wheels, AG2 shuts U/C doors, AG£3 lowers internal rocket pack, AG4 extends airbrakes, AG5 extends refueling probe, AG6 turns on lights and drops external fuel tanks, AG7 ejects, AG8 disables elevators, canards and ailerons so just thrust vectoring controls (advisable to only use this when empty of bombs).
