Ryan XV-5 Vertifan

121k asteroidbook345  5.3 years ago

Description:

The Ryan XV-5 Vertifan was an experimental VTOL aircraft used to test the viability of jet-propelled fans being used on an aircraft (much like Marvel's Quinjets). Needless to say, it ultimately failed. However, it is a very cool and interesting concept.

Controls:

Act. 1 + VTOL up: Vents open
Act. 1 + Throttle: VTOL thrust
Act. 2 + Throttle: Forward thrust

Enjoy your flight!
