Avro-801B “SkyWatcher”
27.9k Hiimakeplanes
2.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Sakorsky's Kulsa Army Fighter/Interceptor Challenge (KA F/I) [Closed]
Unmanned Bomber Interceptor concept
British Import
From lessons learned from previous prototypes Avro managed to come up with this low drag high performance stealth drone that can be deployed via bomber or fighter as it only weights 5000 lbs and has some lasers to shoot down enemy bombers (damage should be high but it’s limited)
When launched from plane attach the drone flipped (have its belly facing up)
Airframe suffers some stress when going at full speed
The flares launch up, this plane maneuvers so well that it leaves the flares it fires behind while fully pulling up
Can not take off without assist

@CodenameOnager yeah, the operator is not in the drone it self
@Hiimakeplanes Can the operator manage the turn rate?
@CodenameOnager drones don’t have blood
@Hiimakeplanes somewhat, it’s definitely fast,, though with the speed, turning on a dime is not the best, maybe a throttle limiter and AOA limiter is a good idea ask Guyfolk
@CodenameOnager are you referring to it’s top speed?
@Hiimakeplanes I am pretty sure it is unstable due to the FWS and horizontal stabilizers being tiny, and a hassle to fly, I had to enlarge the tail to make it fly able by the average pilot, not bad but not the best
@Sakorsky this thing can turn on the spot so why 5?
@Hiimakeplanes how good the aircraft can be handled, like flight characteristics.
@Sakorsky I’m talking about the handeling, what is it? Manuveribility?
@Hiimakeplanes least the nose looks good, so it's a 5.
@Sakorsky wait how does a drone have a canopy lol and about the handling, what? Don’t start with 100% throttle when flying, if you start at 100% it will do flips, start without the after burners
Looks: 5/10
-Handling: 5/10
-Details and roundels: 6/10
-Canopy: 5/10 (yes I care about canopies.)
-Description: 5/10
Total:- 26/50 not bad.
Hmm alright, not bad. Accepted.
@Sakorsky is this ok
