The Sukhoi Shkval was a Soviet project for an interceptor in the tail-sitter design.

In 1960, the young designer Rolan G. Martirossov (who later became chief designer) began his initiative with a team of 10 people, designing an aircraft of an entirely new class - a single-seater, highly capable Tail-sitter for intercepting hunting. Soon the team got permission to work on the project in his spare time, and the project got the name Shkval-1 (Squall-1). At the same time, Yakovlev worked at the Yak-36 and Hawker Siddeley at the Harrier. Both designs were equipped with a conventional Landing gear. The Shkval, however, such as the Lockheed XFV-1, should land on the stern and start on it and therefore require only a tiny space. After the concept was drawn up and wind tunnel tests were made in the TsAGI, the team of Pavel Sukhoi received the official confirmation for this project. This enabled funding by the state authorities and access to various experimental facilities. A partial mockup was built. In August 1963, the Ministry of Aircraft Engineering carried out a project assessment. There were heated discussions during the meeting in which the project group could not answer all the Commission's questions; Therefore, the achievements of the design team were recognized, but the financing for the construction of a prototype was denied. Another reason was the military doctrine based on the views of the new Soviet head of government, Nikita Khrushchev, to increasingly rely on rockets as attack and defence weapons and to reduce expenditures significantly on military aircraft construction.

To be honest, It took me a while to make this plane. I tried to make it when I didn't have enough skill and experience about 1 year ago. This attempt wasn't successfull. And now it seems I've finally made it.
This is a tail sitter jet. So it needs some more pilot skills than conventional airplane, but still I tried to make it's control as easy as I could.

It has two control modes: Flight mode for flight and Landing mode for landing.

Use AG1 for opening canopy
Use AG2 to start engine 1
Use AG3 to start engine 2
Use AG8 to activate/deactivate landing mode

Activation of AG8 rotates seat to have decent view through additional bottom window to control airplane and stabilizes airplane vertically during landing
