Swift(apus apus)
The common swift (Apus apus) is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger, though not stemming from those passerine species, being in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development. The swifts' nearest relatives are the New World hummingbirds and the Southeast Asian treeswifts. Swifts have very short legs which they use primarily for clinging to vertical surfaces (hence the German name Mauersegler, literally meaning "wall-glider"). They never settle voluntarily on the ground, where they would be vulnerable to accidents and predation, and non-breeding individuals may spend up to ten months in continuous flight.Common swifts are 16–17 cm (6.3–6.7 in) long with a wingspan of 38–40 cm (15–16 in) and entirely blackish-brown except for a small white or pale grey patch on their chins which is not visible from a distance. They have a short forked tail and very long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang.
You can use two ways to fly - trottle (turns on the engine) or flapping your wings(VTOL)You can change the angle of the wing by using trim down, or change the angle of the tail, by using trim up
To take off, use the trottle, then you can turn off the trottle and use the wings
Speed limit is 1800kmh

@JUPTER yes
I use this bird please sometimes I go a long time without posting something ?
@LunaSea thank you
Again, the feathers on this are incredible!
This is too much, I have done several hours of play with it, the different movements and the design .. A job of another level! @Wibbley
I like to VTOL down all the way, which gives it swept-back look with it’s wings backwards
Thank you guys
wooow it's amazing! mesmerising.
the aircraft is good but the idea is even better
These birds you’ve been making are great
