Take off & Important points

Important points to note when taking off include not performing unreasonable maneuvers such as barrel rolls or sudden lifting during vertical takeoff and landing, not disabling S/VTOL mode even if the speed is not sufficient for horizontal flight (180km/h or more), and not making sudden turns in VTOL mode during turning flight. Although the stability is set to be quite high, the roll axis does not have an attitude control function, so please note that unreasonable maneuvers may cause the drone to become uncontrollable.)

Fictional History

Development of an attack aircraft with nuclear attack capabilities that can take off vertically even if the runway is destroyed by a preemptive attack by the enemy in the future was required, and development began. The first test aircraft, capable of vertical takeoff and landing and hovering, was developed as the first stage, followed by the second test aircraft capable of horizontal flight and normal takeoff and landing using the lift of the main wings after vertical takeoff. The third test aircraft, which will later become the main aircraft, was developed with more serious flight capabilities and normal takeoff and landing, vertical takeoff and landing, short-distance takeoff and landing, and hovering.
The first and second test aircraft looked like little more than an airplane, with a cockpit and wings attached to a framework, but from the third test aircraft onwards, aircraft parts such as the A-X Turbo Striker, Jet Striker, and LA-X were reused to achieve higher flight capabilities. Based on the success of this aircraft and common parts with other aircraft, it was determined that it could be armed, and a VTOL Striker is currently being developed as the fourth test aircraft equipped with armaments for the purpose of verifying the installation of armaments for future attack aircraft development.
