V-22 Osprey

254 TheTroller24  3.3 years ago

The V-22 Osprey, this is an attempt at replicating the tilt rotor military aircraft. It is VTOL/STOL capable. This version is gyro stabilized so you can fine tune the controls to your liking.

How to fly:

For VTOL (take-off), tilt the rotors 10-15° forward and throttle up to 45%, once in the air, throttle up to 100% and SLOWLY tilt the rotors forward to 45°. Once you reach 450kmph, the wings will generate lift. now SLOWLY start to tilt the Rotors forward and simultaneously add trim**. The aircraft will stabilize at +800kmph(full trim required)

STOL(take-off) is simple, 45° forward tilt, 100% throttle and max trim.

Now because this is gyro stabilized, taking sharp turns is a little different. Basically roll the aircraft to the side and tilt rotors to 45° position. To hover, 42% power is required.

Now VTOL/STOL(landing) is something I am still trying to figure out the best way possible, I preffer VTOL landing but both are possible with a little practice. Note always keep rotors at 10° forward tilt and use pitch control for landing. If aircraft has forward momentum(250-400kmph) then the wings are still generating lift so less the 40% power is required to maintain height. Well, I tried to explain the best I can, but don't worry, with a little bit of practice, aircraft carrier landing feel easy. Practice landing on pre determined landing spots. That will definitely help. Also, it floats!! Enjoy and let me know what you think.

** New method - Put trim at max before take off and and don't change it, even for landing.

    Realmente bueno amigo, el hecho de que pueda flotar es lo vuelve muy práctico, y es muy divertido de usar, creo que podría ayudarte a mejorarlo, si es que quieres
