RFZ-33 Vilyam
Introductions
Hello!
I've been away from Simpleplanes for the past four months due to the unexpected opening of face-to-face classes within our country. I was really busy with my school and have less time in games. Right now, I'm having Summer and a break from school for two months. I felt confident and I have that idea of making a fictional reconnaissance plane that heavily resembles the specifications and design of the U-2 "Dragon Lady". So let me introduce to you the reconnaissance plane from the axis side of a very democratic country from the east, made to spy on the Allied convoys, nuclear weapons, activities on the border and the capital. Flying at thousands of feet from the air, having a good camera to take pictures without a hustle and remains invisible with it's Mach 1 capabilities. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the one and only... RFZ-33 "Vilyam"
How it started
It started with the tension of the West on the Democratic People's Republic of Vidom (DPPV). It was said that they were helping the Country of Moszaka on invading the small country of Luban through giving out equipments and armored vehicles, helicopters and nuclear weapons onto the invasion. The Allied countries decided to put on action on the very actions of what the DDPV is doing, throughout the peace talks, the diplomatic country didn't said a single thing and stayed on their hobbies of importing weapons and military vehicles. The Allied countries has enough of it and declared a war both on the countries Moszaka and DPPV. This was expected by the diplomatic country. Therefore they set all of there nuclear power on standby. These had a very change of tides in the happening invasion and therefore set an alarm to all the countries for an upcoming world war 3 can happen. These was really an heat and can became a cruel war than before. Therefore, they plan on making a program to have an all-seeing eye on the western countries activities. The high-range at the speed of sound reconnaissance plane project was born.
The start of RFZ-33 "Vilyam"
The resources needed on building a aircraft of the project was successfully funded. The project was jointed by 3 aviation companies inside the Diplomatic country. This was the Gato Aviation Company, The Mosoko Airworks and the Rudmovo Aviation. The 3 aviation company started on making a reconnaissance aircraft capable of flying high and what it meant was nearly flying to the space. Built to take high-resolution images on the allied countries it will flew on a high-end camera. It was wished by the diplomatic country and was really interested on the project. It was also planned on being made to fly at the speed of mach-1 and it was easily completed by the country. As the three aviation companies were satisfied, they easily built a craft to achieve this tasks. And therefore, the RFZ-33 "Vilyam" were created in just 2 years of the project the first prototype came up, these prototype needed a auxiliary wheels named as "pogos" to stabilized itself while taking-off. The pogos was easy to use and can be reused at any time, it was meant to be dropped by the aircraft after taking-off to stabilize the aircraft while taking-off since it was found to not neatly balance while doing a take-off. The pogos are really an important part of the aircraft during it's history since you cant see one of these aircrafts without an pogo attached. The first 2 prototypes came put fresh from the hangar of Mokuza air base somewhere in the Diplomatic country. The 2 prototypes came out and came in unscratched after flight tests, there was no much flaws to take note off that can affect the aircraft or whatnot. It was just some flaws related to the pogos and the engine. After the latest update on the two prototypes, they can now produce the main product, The RFZ-33 Vilyam was ready to go.
The RFZ-33 Vilyam
The RFZ-33 Vilyam was really a secret project and have never appeared on public eye until when some spies from the west has entered the airforce of the diplomatic country of Vidom and have reportedly seen a what they so-called a new fighter jet of the diplomatic country they nicknamed as "long tube". The west have been interested in seeing the what they call as a new fighter jet and asked one of there spies to bring a picture of it. As the picture of the what they so-called fighter jet was seen, it was stumbled as the very image does not have a missile load, these means that the aircraft they've been on work was a new generation fighter. Of course, they didn't know it's main use was a spy plane as for of it was fitted by 2 anti-air missiles along the way to protect itself against fighters of the era. As the first mission of the RFZ was now en-route, it was to keep an eye against the port near the invading city of luban, it was used to see the trenches of the soldiers and there total position on the air, there were also plans of another version of the aircraft with anti-ground missiles and dumb bombs to be used as a strategic bomber of the sky, it's aerodynamics was easy to maintain, the only problem with the very aircraft is that it's wait without the pogos make it lay on its tail. As the first mission was executed and the very aircraft returned to the base with the intel it got from the cameras. It was successfully successful on the very mission and started a all-scale surveillance on the allied country Havoks, the Havoks was a very big country with alot of manpower and nuclear capabilities, the mission was to make a high-altitude surveillance to avoid radar detection, as the aircraft went flying by the targeted location it take 23 pictures of which is believed to be there nuclear platforms on ready. As the aircraft were on the top-used aircraft of the country, it served for another 30 years after the war was finished and the very country had disappeared and became what they know today as the 3rd most powerful country of the world which is Mozan with its RFZ as it's main surveillance and the eyes o' the sky. Several countries also used the aircraft during it's service and was used as a strategic surveillance and reconnaissance plane of many countries wether for science, trainers or daily surveillance and reconnaissance of places. It was retired on 2019 and all the planes used by the Mozan was replaced by another surveillance aircraft and was serviced for another 23 years after the retirement of the RFZ, it was one hell of a aircraft for the diplomatic country.
Specifications
Engines
The engines used by the RFZ-33 Vilyam is the big (2x) R-56v2 (Version 2) engine that was used to be fit at some of the first fighter jets that passed the speed of sound.It was also modified to fit the engine placement of the RFZ-33 Vilyam. It was costly in terms of fuel when flying, and that's why the RFZ-33 Vilyam has many fuel tanks to extend its flight.
Creator's Note about the Engines Of the RFZ-33 Vilyam
For maximum take off speed, put it at 30-50% to avoid sudden sweep on the runway. In flight, feel free to put it at 100%. And in landing, put it at 40% -10% it's up to you.
Camera
The camera of the aircraft is the Quantum 67xZ Camera that was a seperate build for the plane. It was built to withstand heavy pressures during flight and to have high-resolution images to be printed on a huge printer. It was all grey and black of course. Since it's costly if it was colorized and would take alot of time.
Creator's Note about the Camera Of the RFZ-33 Vilyam
Please if you can for maximum reality, please don't open the camera when on the ground, since the very camera will just clip to the ground, this is optional, no need to listen to this.
Two Auxiliary Gears (Pogos)
It was built to stabilize the aircraft before taking-off, it was used since without it. Itself will lay on it's tail which made it really impossible for a take-off without its back suffering, and it was also provided to stabilize its wings altogether, it can be reused at every time. It was also planned to have a 2 gear layout on the gears but it was discarded.
Creator's Note about the Two Auxiliary Gears (Pogos) Of the RFZ-33 Vilyam
It is best experienced in high physics or medium physics for the gears to not shake. It doesn't have much problem if you chose/pick to use the low physics, but it will shake constantly when in take-off. Its just optional if you want a more smoother take-off with the gears.
(3x) Parachute
Built to make the aircraft slow down after landing. It was more of a slow-down parachute since multiple landings shows that the pilots uses it before landing the aircraft in which in any means is meant to stop the aircraft mid-air if its on the runway ground, meaning is. It was use to make the aircraft stall to land it slowly on the airport rather than landing it then ejecting the parachute. Its all on the decision of the pilot wether to do this or not.
Weapons & Countermeasures
AALRM-78 (Anti Air Long Range Missile)
Used to intercept active fighters if needed. It was supposedly used to protect the aircraft and fight on it's own. Rather than staying stealthy, it should also prioritize its survivability. And that's why they armed it with a Mach 3 Anti air missile also known as "lace".
Flare Countermeasures
In terms of missile lock onto the aircraft, flares was also added to higher up the survivability of such craft such as this. Since it's really concerning for the diplomatic country to lose on of there aircrafts and get it to the allied soil, it'll really spoil the project.
Activation
Just a reupload on the instructions manual if you downloaded the aircraft :D
Activation 1 - Landing Gear Lights & Wing lights
Activation 2 - The drop of 2 auxiliary wheels called "Pogos".
(Use after take-off, maintain distance from the ground if possible.)
Activation 3 - The drop of 2 fuel tanks
Activation 4 - The ejection of 3 small parachutes to slow down the aircraft.
(Please use if your landing, you can use it near the ground or after landing on the ground to slow the aircraft and to avoid runway overshoot)
Activation 5,6,7,8 - N/A (Not Available/Applicable)
VTOL - Flaps
Trim - Another use of flaps
Range
The range of the aircraft is dependent on what throttle level it is:
25 percent > Low consumption
50 percent > Normal consumption
100 percent > high consumption
