An experimental private jet concept developed by ARC Aircraft. A jet powered VTOL passenger jet designed to operate between conjested city airports, envisioned as using city helipads to bring executives into the heart of the city. It boasted high speed and excellent short field and vertical capability, utilising twin tilt-jetpods. However it was a difficult aircraft for civil pilots to master and the high jet noise made it unpopular with both travellers and those nearby landing platforms.
OPERATION: for Vertical take off set the throttle to between 45% and 50%, the aircraft is mostly balanced but slight pitch correction is necessary during assent. Use VTOL slider to rotate engine pods to horizontal flight and increase throttle. For vertical landings slow to about 90mph and bring pods upright and reduce thrust to 40%. Its tricky to land VTOL as aircraft can enter an unrecoverable spin.
ACT 8: locks the pod rotation and shuts down the gyroscope and VTOL engine.
Have fun!
