XWP-1 "Hungry Buzzard"

3,464 TheBoeingEngineer  2 days ago

FEATURES:
Scissor Flaps to assist with low airspeed operations (VTOL)
Integrated Avionics,
Redundant Systems,
Custom HUD
Prototype "Bludgeon" Recoil-mitigating Blowback Cannon (Firing it too fast will strain the mount, this is intentional)
Awesome WEP
Basic Airframe Fatigue Model (not noticeable under normal flight)
Special Fuel that requires an epic startup, and more [see craft instructions].

When air supremacy is established, and the enemy lay on his dying knees, the Buzzards come to satiate their thirst for carrion and finish off what is left.

Equipped with state-of-the-art smart weaponry and AI-powered flight systems, the Buzzard provides her sole pilot unmatched connection to the weapons. The well-established Jundroo Co. HUD is complemented by digital indicators, a radar (credit to @Striderxxl ), and the ability to maintain, and even gain, altitude on only one engine.

All the fancy, important stuff (and the pilot too, I guess) is protected in the heart of the Buzzard, while the rest of the cheap airframe is more expendable, making her economical as well. Just go easy on her; you don't want to be ripping off those ailerons or shooting off your own cannons.
