Myasishchev M-18
WARNING: Pitch control is very sensitive on takeoff.
Yes. This is why I had a week of silence on my channel. The reason being that this plane has a.............variable-geometry wing and movable nose.
AG-1 for moveable nose
AG-2 for variable-geometry wing
AG-3 for parachute
Before takeoff, I recommend that you activate AG-2. As soon as the wheels are off the ground, fold up the gear and push the VTOL slider all the way up. Then carefully fly to your target.
History:
The Myasishchev M-18 was a design for a Soviet supersonic bomber with a variable-geometry wing. The project was dropped in favour of the Tupolev Tu-160 program. Although the design was the most successful when competing with the Tu-160 and Sukhoi T-4, it was dropped as Tupolev had the most potential to go ahead with the supersonic bomber project.
