Stinger VTOL-JSF

The Stinger VTOL-JSF (Vertical Takeoff and Landing – Joint Strike Fighter) was born out of a top-secret program in the mid-2030s. Designed as a next-generation multirole combat aircraft, the Stinger is an evolution of the Joint Strike Fighter concept, developed to replace aging F-35 fleets while introducing significant new capabilities in stealth, agility, and versatility.

Initially envisioned as an aircraft capable of operating from short or improvised runways, the Stinger’s VTOL capability makes it highly adaptable in both conventional and asymmetric warfare environments. The jet is equally at home on aircraft carriers, forward-operating bases, or austere, remote locations. Its role was expanded further to act as an elite special operations support aircraft, giving it the edge to perform in reconnaissance, electronic warfare, close air support, and deep strike missions.

The Stinger VTOL-JSF serves as the backbone of allied air forces worldwide, providing unparalleled versatility in contested environments. It can strike deep into enemy territory, offer close air support to ground troops, or defend air superiority in aerial dogfights. Developed by a consortium of top aerospace companies, its production numbers are low, making it a rare but highly prized asset in any air force.

VTOL Capabilities:

• VTOL Mode: Capable of vertical takeoff and landing on aircraft carriers,
  forward bases, or compact runways.
• Hovering Time: 1.5 minutes (limited to weight and fuel capacity)
• Transition Speed: Able to switch from VTOL to forward flight mode in under
  5 seconds.

Avionics

• Stealth Technology: Advanced radar-absorbing materials and shaping
  techniques, reducing radar cross-section.
• Radar: Advanced AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar for air-to-
  air and air-to-ground tracking.
• Countermeasures: ECM (Electronic Countermeasure) suite, chaff, flares, and
  onboard jamming systems.
• Targeting System: Integrated electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) targeting
  system.

Armament:

• Internal Weapon Bays:
  -6x AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles
  -4x AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles for short-range air-to-air combat
• Cannon:
  -2x 25mm GAU-22/A rotary cannons for close-quarters combat

The Stinger VTOL-JSF represents the pinnacle of 21st-century fighter jet technology, offering unmatched versatility and survivability in high-threat environments. It is the ultimate answer to the evolving demands of modern warfare, excelling in both offensive and defensive roles across the globe.

Original Plane

Instruction:

AG1 = afterburner
AG2 = weapons activation
AG4 = VTOL conversion (Trim under AG4 works as vtol nozzel control bar)
AG3 = Canopy
AG5,6 = lights
AG7 = drop all payloads
AG8 = activate flight control and TVC (Deactivate at full speed or for realistic handling at any speed)
Trim = trim in normal flight, nozzel direction control during VTOL mode
VTOL-down = flaps
Alt (FireWeapons) = Missiles bay doors
Gun (FrieGuns) = extending gun pods and shoot

CTOL Takeoff tips:
20% throttle and 1/2 flaps

VTOL Takeoff tips:
AG4 enter VTOL mode
17+% throttle and VTOL-bar-flaps (Depends on speed)
20+% throttle and trim forward to gain speed
Deactivate AG4, retract flaps for forward flight, adjust Trim bar to balanced position (Depends on speed)

CTOL Landing tips:
3-5% throttle and adjust VTOL-bar (flaps) till balanced position (depends on speed)

VTOL Landing tips:
AG4 enter VTOL mode
17-% throttle and VTOL-bar-flaps (Depends on speed)
Trim-bar down a bit to reduce speed
