Project Zeus
Project Zeus is an aircraft designed specifically for a single purpose. Zeus quickly climbs to a very high altitude where it uses its look-down capability to lock onto targets far below it to rain down destruction with its gravity-assisted downward-facing missiles. Use AG1 and VTOL down to tilt the cockpit forward and face down. Like most planes, Zeus has difficulty performing advanced maneuvers at high altitudes. Fly straight and level, toward your targets, and look down to target them with minimal movement as you pass overhead. The huge engines are primarily to give it extra push to reach high altitudes. You should typically use very little power to low-level cruising, because at full throttle, Zeus goes a little too fast for itself and risks breaking apart. Landing is fairly easy, the plane glides decently, and remains controllable at low speeds.
