Overview: The E700 is an experimental single-engine jet with forward-swept wings, TVC, and an artificial stability system. It was designed to test the concept of artificial stability on an aircraft with a semi-tailless configuration. The aircraft can regularly perform turns of up to 20-30° AoA, and can fly at 60° AoA without the use of TVC. It can also perform advanced aerobatic maneuvers.


FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 750mph, 1207kph, 652knots.
Maximum Mach: 1.1
Maximum Altitude: 30,000ft, 9,144m.
Takeoff Airspeed (IAS)(50% Power): ~185mph, ~298kph, ~161knots.
Landing Airspeed (IAS): ~190mph, ~306kph, ~165knots.
Controls:

  • VTOL: AoA Tolerance Adjustment.
  • Activate1: Engine Activation.
  • Activate2: TVC Activation.
  • Activate3: Toggle TVC AoA/AoS Limiter.
  • Activate4: Airbrakes.

NOTES

  • I do not recommend attempting advanced aerobatic maneuvers at high altitudes. The air density is not enough to sustain the aircraft's flight after dramatic maneuvers.
  • Using the airbrakes can help with performing dynamic deceleration maneuvers (ex: Cobra Maneuver).
  • For dynamic deceleration maneuvers such as the Cobra Maneuver, I recommend flying at about 50-75% of the aircraft's maximum speed, while keeping the throttle at 0%. This will not work with a high throttle setting; the TVC stabilizer will prevent the aircraft from rotating rapidly enough.
  • Using the TVC AoA/AoS limiter will prevent the aircraft from reaching an excessively high Angle of Attack/Slip when the thrust vectoring is activated.
  • The AoA Tolerance essentially acts as trim, allowing the aircraft to reach higher Angle Of Attack while still remaining stable.

    @GabrielSatori That's a problem I attempted to fix (and mostly did) while I was designing the landing gear.
    Landing should go decently as long as the aircraft is landing at the correct speed (listed above) and the correct rate of descent, and the user isn't trying a Ryanair landing.
    Though, you can almost always expect a small bounce upon landing. This is something I hope to learn how to solve in the future (likely with actual suspension).

    Reminds me of the Su-47

    This plane is good, however landing this thing is a pain, it always gets out of control when landing.

    @F8boa Theoretically yes. With the right speed, timing, and altitude it's likely possible. Removing the vertical stabilizer might help if you intend to yaw the aircraft backwards.

    The real question is… can it pull a guyfolk?
