This is an improved version of the previously published aircraft.

The basic specifications remain the same, but there are some added elements and modifications.

First, let's look at the added elements.
This time, we have added forward edge slats, additional flaps, additional airbrakes, a movable cockpit, and a nose-mounted Vulcan cannon.

The leading edge slats are added to the white part of the wing. These slats are only movable when turning.

Think of the additional flaps as being like those on the F-4 Phantom.
It is hidden in front of the main body flaps.

The added airbrakes are stored above the wings, near the additional flaps.

The cockpit canopy has been redesigned to open and is quite sturdy, although visibility in the cockpit is minimal.

Regarding the Vulcan cannon, the previous version had one on each wing, but when fired from the cockpit viewpoint, they were very noisy and did not look good, so the placement of the armament was changed.

The performance of the Vulcan cannon is the same, and although the bullets tend to scatter, it is not a problem at present.

Next, I would like to talk about the modified parts.
The following are the corrected parts: unstable behavior during vertical takeoff, and pylon position.
The only thing to talk about is the VTOL function.

In the previous version, the aircraft would drift to the left when taking off vertically.
The cause of this was that the installation decision of the engine for VTOL in front of the left side had been moved to the right side.

With this aircraft, the instability has been eliminated, and the aircraft is designed so that anyone can fly safely.

I am surprised that the previous version has been downloaded more than I thought it would be!
