[PEA] Fokker Dr.I

Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


this time around, it's something more infamous.. the Red Baron's steed, the Fokker Dreidecker... and it's also prompted that I just knew that my PEA series can also count as AI aircrafts(-ish), so why not tackle that while at it, got this little rosy to finally spawn like finally after tinkering with it for a while even though wing count is 7, but oh well oh well.

handling is a bit slidey, quite fun to see turning in a dime nimbly, I've also simulated the torque turning by capping roll with clamp, notice how it rolls faster to the right compared to the left.


The Fokker Dr.I (Dreidecker, "triplane" in German), often known simply as the Fokker Triplane, was a World War I fighter aircraft built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.I saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became famous as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 17 victories (plus two earlier ones in the Fokker F.I prototype in September 1917), and in which he was killed on 21 April 1918.

    Man and machine and nothing there in between
    The flying circus and a man from Prussia
    The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
    The western front and all the way to Russia
    Death from above, you're under fire
    Stained red as blood, he's roaming higher
    Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
    That's where the legend will arise
    And he's flying
    Higher, the king of the sky
    He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
    Higher, an eye for an eye
    The legend will never die
    First to the scene, he is a lethal machine
    It's bloody April and the tide is turning
    Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
    Four in a day shot down with engines burning
    Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
    Call out his name: "Rote Kampfflieger"
    In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
    Eighty allies paid the price
    And he's flying
    Higher, the king of the sky
    He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
    Higher, an eye for an eye
    The legend will never die
    Higher
    Higher, the king of the sky
    He's flying too fast, again, he's flying too high
    He's flying higher, an eye for an eye
    The legend will never die
    Higher
    Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
    And the legend never dies
    And he's flying
    And he's flying
    And he's flying
    Higher, the king of the sky
    He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
    Higher, an eye for an eye
    The legend will never die
    Higher, the king of the sky
    He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
    Higher, an eye for an eye
    The legend will never die
