XM-12 VTOL JET [Jet Trainer Challenge]

521 FolfAlpine  3.4 years ago

(NEW-- Added Tailerons) The XM-12 is a V/STOL, carrier capable, semi-gyroscopically operated, multirole fighter jet, designed for both air superiority and ground attack missions. The aircraft is jointly developed by the Wright Isles Aerial Defense Corps. (WIADC), and the Krakabloan Air Force (KAF). This aircraft's development started during an economic crash that had occored a year and a half before production on a separate planet. The Wright Isles guessed that it would be a while before they recovered from the crash, as many people had large shares there, and needed a multirole fighter which would last for at least 30 years, with little to no upgrades. They held a contest for multiple plane manufacturers there, saying one would get funding from the government to produce at least 402 planes. The winner of the competition was the PAGF-12, built by the Wright Aerospace Corporation, a privately owned company that uniquely produces aircraft only on request. The XM-12 turned out to be a massive success and is still used today, by the WIADC and KAF. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTROLS: AG's 3, 6, 7, and 8 are Drop Payload, Gyroscope, Landing Lights, and Nav Lights respectively.
