EQ-17 Jackdaw - Bizzare Contest entry

126 ParaParity  7.5 years ago

My entry for the BIzzare contest (I may actually be too late, if so no hurt feelings!)
AG3: Release armaments
AG4: Toggle lights
VTOL: Sweep Wings

A further development of the Hmm (a previous aircraft of mine), it is now envisioned as an unmanned AEW/C2 platform, carried out by a Wedgetail inspired radar beneath the fuselage, while retaining 2 hardpoints and certain flight characteristics (variable wings and thrust vectoring) for targets if required.
Admittedly, I'm disappointed with the effective ceiling of <30k ft, but am otherwise mostly content. Enjoy!
