PROTOTYPE BUILD

ELCAS-3 (Experimental Light Close Air Support 3) is the second prototype for the planned new member of LCAS family. It features 4 engines instead of previous version, respectively 1 and 2 engines. Users can expect a big power output from this bad boy. Even though it has 4 engines, doesn’t mean it drink a lot of fuel, the contra-rotating system ensure not only stability but also efficiency of fuel. The stall speed is also very low, further justify it's role as CAS plane. Multi landing gears also the first time this system implemented in Valkyria Company, in safety aspects, we installed directly the navigation and landing lights due to the high demand in previous series, we also successfully included the ability to land on the sea and parachute. Another safety technology we implement in this prototype is the brand-new ejection seat. We also increase the blade of the propeller from 6 to 8 to increase the efficiency of the engine. Even though it’s a CAS plane, don’t expect weapon come with this, as it’s still in experimental phase, it’s more focused on how to improve the performance first. Variable variants already considered for production, one of them is AWACS version and another is Naval Patrol variants.

Change log:
ELCAS-3 Mk.I -> ELCAS-3 Mk.II
-Addition of Sea-Landing ability
-Addition of ejection seat
-Addition of parachute (Landing improvement)
-Deletion of yaw control surface at wing tips
-Minor tweak at roll control surface (Stability improvement)
-Tweak blade counts (from 6 to 8, Engine efficiency increase)
