American Aeromobile
I hope you guys enjoy this aircraft as much as I did. I had a blast with this project and I think it turned out great! Please be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought! Have fun, and as always, fly safe!

Report:
This was a great aircraft to work on. Here are some of the things that I made changes on. The first major change which you will notice right away, is the new paint job! Next thing you might notice is the overhauled cockpit design and the pilot. The cockpit now contains (from left to right - top to bottom) a fuel gauge in gallons, an altimeter, an artificial horizon meter, an air speed indicator in miles per hour, a clock, a speed indicator in mach, aircraft systems panel, and a map panel. I also added a few things as well! I added an arresting hook so that the aircraft can now land on the USS Beast. I also added two very powerful guns which are placed on the tail wing. When I say powerful, I mean powerful! These guns have been overhauled to devastate any enemy that crosses its path. I can guarantee that you will be able to sink the USS Beast in just one blow! The final addition to the aircraft is a gyro system. It helps stabilize the aircraft during flight, acting like an auto pilot stabilization system. It can be activated and deactivated. Deactivate for fighting use and when on the ground. There 3 modifications made to the aircraft. First, I added more horse power to the vehicle engine. It now totals a horse power of 1,000. I also adjusted both jet engines' maximum thrust power so that the aircraft can now reach a maximum speed of +1,500mph at an altitude of roughly 30,000ft. I also adjusted the engines' angle to help counteract the upward pitching at high speeds, however this also causes the aircraft to pitch downward at lower speeds. This is where the gyro comes in handy. This is the end of the report.

Change Log:
• Repainted craft
• Reworked cockpit
• Added pilot
• Added official landing gear
• Added arresting hook
• Reworked parts of main wheel system
• Added power to vehicle engine
• Re-did parts of wheel folding system
• Slowed transformation speed to reduce craft stress
• Reworked engine bay
• Slowed engine folding speed to reduce craft stress
• Connected engines and engine bay to same activation group
• Added new air intake in back
• Added new guns
• Added new navigation lights
• Connected navigation lights to engines and engine bay to same activation group
• Added power to both jet engines
• Changed engine angles
• Added gyro
• Changed fuel properties (=2,000gal.)
• Added airbrakes

Pilot Manual:
• Activate AG1 to unfold the engine bays and activate the jet engines. AG1 will also activate the navigation lights automatically.
• Use the throttle to control jet engine thrust. Roll can be used to navigate on the ground (taxi). Take off speed is 250mph.
• When in flight, activate AG5 for auto-stabilization. Deactivate for fighter use. MUST be deactivated while on ground.
• To land on aircraft carrier, deploy landing gear and activate AG4. Deactivate AG5 if already activated. Use airbrakes when needed. Safe maximum carrier landing speed is 180mph. On touchdown, lower throttle to 0% thrust.
• To land on runway, deploy landing gear. Use airbrakes when needed. Deactivate AG5. Safe maximum landing speed is 200mph.
• AG8 is already activated. When on ground, to switch from aircraft mode to vehicle mode, deactivate AG8. When AG8 is deactivated, the vehicle will begin transformation. Once completed, lift up the landing gear. Make sure AG5 is deactivated before driving.
• To drive, use pitch as throttle and roll as steering. AG1 can be activated to achieve higher speeds by using the throttle.
• Activating AG8 will switch the aircraft back to aircraft mode.
