This was going to be a Gyrocopter, but didn't work, put it in the 'too hard basket'. However it did sort of fly without the rotor moving aaaand it turned into this. Looong, thin wings and body mostly made out of structural parts. VTOL slider adjusts the angle of attack of the WINGS, which makes for a pretty short takeoff run. It also means that it will glide reasonably well if you happen to run out of fuel. The small jet (BJ50? - brainfade lol) is more than enough power to get it off the ground and keep it flying despite the limited fuel supply. This probably falls into the 'rich boys toy' area. It flies, gets you from one point to another and that's about it.

@Efacel Interesting. I had a plane that was crashing the game. I armed the Nobler (lol) and something must have gone wrong and corrupted the file just enough so that it would load in the editor, but not in game.
Also, Nobler with dual gatling and long/short range missles vs F15C Eagle..... Nobler wins half the time. hehehe
Well I just uploaded a plane that crashes me when I load it so we all have our oddities
@Efacel Yep, fair call. I'm a weird kind of guy.
Just want to mention that it’s weird that you uploaded it as a fail because for what it is it is good just not for what it isnt
Strange things sometimes come from failed projects/ideas.
This is one of those.
Forgot to add in the main thing;
Wingtip landing gear: absolutely needed, has a tendancy to 'fall over' without them if you wait too long.
