Northrop Grumman B-3 Baby Bat

34.5k GhostHTX  7.8 years ago

This is my first attempt to build a functional flying wing.
It was a challenge...

The idea is that this is a smaller, more cost effective little brother of the B-2.
The flight characteristics are surprisingly good, bearing in mind what I started out with...

The controls are;

1 - VTOL up - Flaps down (only needed for landing - with full flap, this can land on the USS Beast)
2 - VTOL neutral - flaps up.
3 - Action Group 1 + VTOL DOWN - open bomb bay doors
4 - Action Group 1 + VTOL Neutral - Close bomb bay doors
NOTE* You have two small bombs in there - make sure that the bay doors are open before dropping.
5 - Action Group 2 - lights.

Good luck and have fun.

    @MechWARRIOR57 It was either lots of small strakes or it flew like a frisbee. The bomb bay was complete luck - I have no idea how the bombs clipped half way inside the wing without the collision detection finding out...

    and the fact that this was made on IOS

    I would deduct points on how it still has vertical stabs, but that bomb bay is too cool
