X-274 c thumbnail thing test
origional conception:
test craft for possible prototype for submission for request for proposal (RfP) for Counter Air Fighter- anti helicopter craft to defend/support NATO ground units in the hell that could very well be the last great war
so basically we will put a prop cruise engine on a helicopter and tell the pilot to frick off and not come back unit he has single-handedly dismantled the entire soviet Hind force
Problems:
-yaw
-pitch at hover
-pitch at transition speed
-pitch at cruise speed
-roll (kys)
-cruise engine and rotors on same throttle
-can it even climb vertically outside of ground effect?
cannot
-hover
-turn
-turn left
-effectively support units on the ground or allied rotorcraft
-decide its gender
fuck
-soviet tank columns approaching Aufeld
-you
-me (pls)
-whoever is on the receiving end of the 2.75in rockets
-Burt Rutan
