MiG-29M (thrust vectoring testbed)

31.9k NecoArcBubbles  9.1 years ago

Tail doesn't look as accurate as the rest of the plane but this wasn't built to look pretty, just to test the effects of thrust vectoring in SimplePlanes. Doesn't work exactly as it does IRL but it greatly enhances maneuverability nevertheless. Can easily perform and recover from somersaults.
>inb4 "hurr durr the mig-29 didn't have thrust vectoring" the M variant did, learn to read.

    Basically you just put the engines on rotators, make the range of motion from 15-45°, and set it so that they are controlled by pitch. @bolt

    How do you use thrust vectoring it helps flying and if you ask me you probably can lift the nose up in a stall
