Long range light strike drone currently in development by DARPA for the US Navy, designed to launch and land vertically on the helipads of Destroyers. AG1 unlocks propeller gimbaling for hover control, it is recommended that you turn it off once you reach 200mph. Landing is a challenge, but if you stall it at about 35% throttle and unlock the rotor control you can usually ease it down like a helicopter.
