KW-70A “Caracal”

2,430 nathan8urns  3.1 years ago

The Caracal is the production version of the prototype Serval, with various minor improvements such as drag reduction, increased engine power, increased stability and enhanced maneuverability. The Caracal is similar in many ways to the Serval and shares most of the controls as the prototype. This production version has entered service with Krakabloan-Wright Air Force and has been given a camouflage, allowing for it to blend in with the natural coloration of the terrain when in low level flight or when parked. The Aircraft has many improvements planned for the future, a two-seater trainer and a strike variation for close air support and COIN operations. It is also planned to have a stealth variant manufactured and tested. This version is planned to have a maiden flight after 3 years of development, and go into service after 5 years. With this in mind, the Caracal seems like a promising aircraft for the export market, as it is easy to maintain, easy to pilot with simple instructions, and can takeoff from relatively short runways. The only issue is the intake placement, meaning the Caracal will not be able to use unprepared and dirt runways, since the intakes will suck in debris and cause engine damage and failure.

Everything needed to know for how to fly this aircraft is in the instruction section of the menu, and can be pulled up in flight if needed.

That’s all, upvote if it’s good. If not, well too bad, new models will be in future.
