Cyclone VTOL

18.8k KCferrari  8.9 years ago

An easy to fly lightweight VTOL craft powered by a large pivoting double fan in its center. Thrust 100% for takeoff, and around 85-90% for hovering. Once airborne, you can tilt the rotors slightly forward for a slow glide, and rolling the plane will start a smooth turn. If it feels unstable at very low speeds, simply tilting the rotors to gain some speed will stabilise it. You can also slowly tilt the rotors completely forward to fly full speed (200+ mph). Since all vertical thrust is from the central rotors, it's even possible to hover nose-up or nose-down and perform hovering somersaults. NOTE: With a full heavy weapon loadout, you may need to take off STOL style. (don't worry, the rotors dont hit the ground when tilted) Its a great sightseeing treetop level aircraft in my opinion. Enjoy ^^
