Hybrid Ultralight (VTOL)

1,042 rkarns  3.7 years ago

This aircraft is a mixture of helicopter and airplane technology. The rise and descent is independent of the forward thrust to a degree. It lands easily because of the autorotation effect. It can travel low over the surface, about 12-14 ft, with the right VTOL adjustment. Controls: VTOL to adjust lift. TRIM to steer. (Air brakes, flares and extra camera.)
It can move forward slowly but still ascend. in addition , you an hit the brakes from full speed and it will land without damage depending on terrain. I was able to land it on the Beast and taxi over to the elevator. It is amphibious and performs as a speedy watercraft..
