Haefighter Maneuver-engine 430

27.7k Jetpackturtle  7.5 years ago

Driven by the success of the Haefighter 430, the technicians at Hae Research took extra steps to create a super maneuverable fighter by making the engines able to swivel. This aircraft was decommissioned in 1977 after numerous incidents involving the pilot(s) mistaking the plane for a VTOL aircraft.

VTOL to adjust angle of engines. TAKE OFF WITH ENGINES FACING FORWARD! This is not a VTOL plane. Engine tilt is to be used sparingly in aerobatic maneuvers and climbing.

Have fun!
