RS-415 Falcon
The RS-415 Falcon is a modern supersonic stealth reconnaissance aircraft. The RS stands for Reconnaissance & Surveillance, which is fitting due to the aircraft’s side-looking optical camera with a 100 degree rotational limit. The aircraft is a delta wing powered by 2 after-burning turbojets. The cockpit of the aircraft is very advance with a large Multi-Function Display and a new HUD Unit. The max service ceiling of the air craft is [CLASSIFIED] meter but has an operational altitude window of 15,000 to 20,000 meters, and the max speed is [CLASSIFIED] kPH but a cruising speed of ~Mach 1.3 (~1600KPH). Many things are still not known about the Falcon, but one thing’s for sure, no matter where you are, they will find you.

Flight Recommendations
-For takeoff, set throttle to 90%-95% and trim to -60%, pitch up after airspeed reaches 300 km/h.
-For reaching proper altitude, keep pitch at 35 to 60 degrees and have after burners on. Begin to level out when the aircraft reaches 16,000m
-During landing, throttle is recomended at about 25-40% with about half trim, keep airspeed above 300 km/h, and brake slowly after contact. Deploy the droge chute if necessary.
-During high speed cruse at max throttle, a little negative trim(0 to -50%) may be applied to maintain level flight.
-Aircraft will become less manevurable if below 200 mph, and also stalls at around 200 mph
