The Vulture MP8C1 (Vulture Midlands Propulsion Model 8 Compact 1) is a (fictional) WW2 aircraft with two side 'bays' which hold the mechanism to fold the wings allowing this fighter to work on aircraft carriers, the plate on the bottom can also have a mechanism fitted to allow catapult takeoff.. If catapult takeoff isnt equipped then a bomb can be fitted to the lower plate, as well as various weapons that can be fitted to the wings. Use VTOL down to fold back wings, or put VTOL into half forward to allow it to have a mechanical inspection where it's propped up onto the wing-wheels. Be gentle on pitch, and for level flight slightly pitch up please.

    @A5mod3us he main restriction is making sure it isn't to bulky at the motors. If you can make a more hidden area for the two motors would greatly help. I couldn't pinpoint where it was interfering with the fuselage (it interfered quite a bit earlier actually).

    This is an interesting design, but it has a lot of issues. The wings are interfering with the fuselage when they fold, and the COM isn't far enough forward, so it tends to pitch up on take-off and stall. Also, I suggest using the shorter landing gear on the tail, as that'll lift the nose up more and give more play when pulling back on the stick for take-off. I really like the idea, and the design. I hope you can improve it :D

    Folding wings, that seem really realistic, I would have hoped this would have made @PlanesOfOld proud
