Small jet with VTOL capability and ton of air brakes.
Normal controls + VTOL for thrust vectoring.
1-4 enables/disables RCS:
-1: Pitch up assist
-2: pitch up - speed up
-3: Pitch down assist
-4: Pitch down - speed down.
Unfortunately this plane doesn't hover very well. If you start stationary and thrust straight up, you will eventually pitchover and crash. Turning thrust back after take off transitions nicely to level flight. Vertical landing is OK as long as you have some speed ahead.
Useful plane for easy Carrier and Short Landings. I have managed to land on helideck of USS Beast's escort with this plane.
