The Koraero X1 is a multi-purpose VTOL transonic aircraft built for private transit, cargo transport, light miltary uses, etc.
The unique structure of the aircraft allows for Vertical Takeoff and Landing, as well as reduced weight while having plenty of fuel stored.
Don't be fooled by it's elegant and sleek looks, it actually is quite capable.
**FEATURES**
1. VTOL/STOL
2. Transonic speeds
3. Advanced controllabilty/agility at all altitudes
4. Long-lasting fuel storage
5. Thrust Vector Controlled
**ACTIVATION GROUPS**
1. VTOL fan on/off
2. Main engines on/off
3. TVC on/off

Its just what it should be. But a little better.
Whatever you do, do NOT attempt an aileron roll with the VTOL propeller engaged
How do you land vertically
how do you get to 20 blade count on that prop?
It's awesome
Very nice
Amazing!
Awesome
good but i still perfer my vtol that has blades in the center.
@RocketLL i have found a bug with my ryan fireball https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5ZCIYM/Ryan-FR1-Fireball the rear engine isnt working this is extremely frustrating since ive spent nearly 3 hours building the plane and two of those hours were trying to fix the jet.
@assassingamer start on bandit airport, after lift off turn 30° to the right and fly all straight. Then after a short fly you should see the old island :)
@FlOu what way do you go from bandit to the old island
Why did I only see this now?!? Awesome plane! There arent a lot of planes in this site with TVC
I just looked at a newly downloaded XML that had not been loaded into SP yet, and found the problem. You've added fuel tanks by the prop, and set the amount of fuel to -3000 as to keep the weight down. I must have somehow triggered SP to realise what was going on.
After refreshing my copy of this plane, it works. However, I think there should be a better way to reduce weight than that.
Can't get it to VTOL takeoff on Android. Tried putting VTOL stick up to full, as you seem to have mapped propeller pitch to there, but no takeoff. Running on Android.
Thrust vector control. The engine rotates a little bit to control the plane. @plane321
Awesome plane, but what is TVC?
@Tomospercy29 iOS or Android?
Superb attention to detail. Good design.
One of the best planes i've ever flown!!! Great work!
Teach me how to mod on mobile plz mate
I was.going to make something like this! I will download and upvote as soon as I get my ipad back.
awesome
Outstanding work bro :)
