Skylark Aerospace C-12B Vulture

The Skylark Aerospace C-12B Vulture is a multirole, supersonic, twin tail, twin engine, VTOL, all-weather, thrust-vectored, twin-seater, delta-winged, super-cruise, medium-large fighter bomber.

When G High Command commissioned a new multirole 5th generation fighter-bomber in 2020, Skylark Aerospace was first on the list to build it. The enemy had achieved air superiority over the Pacific Ocean and G had no decent aircraft to outdo their forces; and ageing, obsolete A1 Menace ground attack and fighter was being retired from service and was eventually decommissioned.

The High Command wanted a all-rounder aircraft that could serve anytime, anywhere, with any conditions and armed with anything. Skylark had just commissioned a new project anyway: “Skylark Aerospace Combatant teen-series fighter-bomber aircraft project.” The fighter that Skylark would come up with would shock the world.

Flight Data:
Wingspan 36.8ft
Length 62.1 Ft
Height 14.1 Ft
Empty Weight 28,584 lbs (12,965kg)
Loaded Weight 39,503 lbs (17,918kg)
Power/weight ratio 2.901
Wing Loading 53.21bs/ft^2
Wing area 743.2ft^2

Control:

Skylark C-12B Vulture:
AG1: EJECT
AG2: Thrust Vectoring/disable AoA limiter/PSM
AG3: Master arm
AG4: Arresting Hook
AG5: VTOL + Gyro (VTOL slider + AG5 for VTOL engine throttle, trim slider + AG5 for VTOL swivel. I do not recommend the swivel as there are also main engines. All controls return mentioned switch to default on AG5 deactivation. The gyroscope is very powerful so you cannot do aerobatics with VTOL on. WARNING: DO NOT YAW WITH TVC ACTIVE AS IT IS VERY POWERFUL AND YOU WILL STALL.)
AG6: Refuel probe
AG7: Canopy
AG8: All power (engines, lights, controls, cockpit. Do not deactivate AG8 unless you want to completely lose power.)

More information:
Afterburner is on at default, I could not get inlets and TVC and VTOL to work with separate engines.
It might be quite hard to see the refuel probe from the cockpit
VTOL is quite hard to use
I apologise for the cockpit (it’s my first time using HUDs)

Please feel free to use my aircraft for whatever you want and also re upload better, improved versions. If you are going to, then it would be really cool if you tag me. Thanks.
