Something cool I found when browsing concept aircraft, had to build it.
Feel free to make improvements, I really don't know any building tricks or mods to make the awesome replicas I see out there, I just make things functional.

Controls:
1: VTOL up to open VTOL bays (then turn off)
2: Turbines activate
3: VTOL thruster direction (not for use)
4: Main thrusters activate
5: VTOL down to open gunner doors
6: VTOL down to drop gun
7: (turn off 5&6 return to VTOL to center) turret rotation
Attach any weapons you like to turret block, tested with rocketpods, boom 25, and some missiles. (the missiles tend to be a bit more tricky)

VTOL Advanced Reconnaissance Insertion Organic Unmanned System (VARIOUS) is an advanced vertical take-off and landing Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) concept with multi-role capabilities. With a maximum payload of more than 1,900 pounds, no exposed rotors and a service ceiling in excess of 25,000 feet, VARIOUS provides the safety and flexibility to perform multiple missions. Able to carry a variety of payloads in one common stealthy Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) platform, it is designed to be responsive, survivable, lethal and persistent. VARIOUS is a survivable VTOL UAS concept for all armed services. -Lockheed Martin website
