The airframe the navy has been dreaming of is here. Circinae. A aircraft more versatile than the navy could ever ask. The Circinae has several dominant features that separate it from previous VTOL naval airframes. The harrier was underpowered, slow, unstable and required a very experienced pilot. The Circinae hovers with ASM's installed from the factory at just 49% thrust and a bit of aft pitch to remain level. Without the ASM's installed only 38% thrust is required to achieve a extremely stable hover. When hovering the Circinae has the ability to crab left and right via yaw input, a benefit provided by the engine rotation system. When in forward flight configuration, the same engine rotation system provides extra yaw control. If a incident resulting in a aircraft overboard were to occur, the Circinae is buoyant and is maritime operationally equipped. All of these features add up to a very stout stand off weapon system capable of firing at enemies 10 miles away, without fear of return fire. Couple that with the ability to land this aircraft on any vessel in the fleet, and the navy will have a hard time saying no to this bird of prey.
