The ES-36-1 is a high altitude medium bomber based off the ES-36, its smaller light bomber cousin. This aircraft will happily fly at a height of 50,000 ft at speeds above 1,000 mph. In other words it flies like it looks… as well as “looks like it flies”.

This carries a twice as much bombs as the original ES-36, but instead of relying on missiles to protect itself, this variant relies of its speed and altitude to get away for enemies. Anyway, for those who haven’t got a clue on how many bombs the ES-36 carries (shame on you!) the ES-36 carries 3 50 Boom bombs, thus meaning the ES-36-1 carries 6… Just in case you fancy going on a bombing spree… Although I recommend the SB-2 Strato Bomber for such doom death and destruction.

The ES-36-1 also has another trick up its sleeve. The ability to fly at low speeds without stalling. A technology grandfathered from the ES-36 and modified for this as its sole purpose. It’s not as advanced but this aircraft was never intended to achieve a STOL performance like the ES-36, although, its take of speed is still quite low.
An AWACS plane is next on the list, but until then happy flying!!
Controls:
- VTOL + Throttle for forward thrust

    @salvador3031 I think of them more as flaps than something that is actually a pitch surface (obviously it's still not flaps though). But provided they're lined up correctly, you can actually make planes a lot more manoeuvrable by doing this.

    @Squirrel having two pitches right behind each other is weird i just try to keep them far apart.

    @salvador3031 Maybe, I'll test it out when I'm next on. I eliminate all the pitch controls other than the ones I'm testing, then see what effect they have on the aircraft. I don't think I did it for this one though.

    @Squirrel well it could maybe work on the pitch surface on the primary wing

    @salvador3031 What do you mean by inverting the front pitch? As in the elevators? They're canards, so they should be fine the way it is, reversing it would probably make it less manoeuvrable.

    And...

    Thanks again for the upvote! XD

    if you inverted the front pitch it could fly better
