The Sikorsky-–Boeing SB-1 Defiant is the Sikorsky Aircraft and Boeing entry for the United States Army's Future Vertical Lift program, succeeding the Joint Multi-Role initiative. It is a compound helicopter with rigid coaxial rotors, powered by two Honeywell T55s, and made its first flight on 21 March 2019.


Description

This is by far my most complicated and frustrating project! But I am very happy with how it turned out. Here are some of the noicest features:
- Blueprinted
- 42 Rockets
- Paneled cockpit
- B O I N G


Controls (READ BEFORE FLYING!!!!!)

  • Activation Group 1: Activate Rotors
  • VTOL: Rotor Pitch
  • Activation Group 2: Auto Hover (thanks to @FairFireFight) and Turret activation (Yaw to control, try to keep the heli level when you do this)

ENJOY!
