Fae-12 Rotodyne (Gold Rank Special Pt. 1)

"The Next Level Of Prestige"

ABOUT THIS PLANE:

The Fae-12 Rotodyne is my Gold Rank Special Build. I initially only wanted to build a militarized Rotodyne, but I couldn't decide which cockpit design I should use. So, I made the other one for the military version of this aircraft, the ACH-164 Gryffin. The interior of this aircraft is based on the standard 10-passenger deluxe executive of the Sikorsky S92. Also, the Cockpit Interior is original, simple, and fitted with all the default cockpit interior parts, having only a couple of additions like the autopilot and radar map.

Thank You Very Much for Helping Me Reach Gold!

AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION:

The Fae-12 is a large, hybrid rotorcraft, also known as a compound gyroplane, and a revitalized design of the Fairey Rotodyne. Modern Technology allowed its concept to be faster, safer, cheaper, and more fuel-efficient than its contemporaries. It is now one of the most widely used private transport helicopters.

FEATURES:

- Simple Cockpit and Cabin Interior

- Simple Passenger and Cargo Doors

- Refuel Drogue

  • On Cruise,
    Activate A/P (inside the cockpit) for level flight and adjust altitude using VTOL.


P.S This is not an autogyro because those involve complex Funky Trees. Also, when I tried to make it simple and the rotor unpowered, it ate the whole runway XD.

HAVE FUN! AND ENJOY!
