Meissa, the head. Meissa is the eyes and ears of the Orion Series, using its long range radar to detect the enemy's movements, allowing Meissa to relay vital tactical information to friendly fighters. Features spinning rotodome, customized main gear, and 2 layer wings with flaps.
To activate the rotodome, press AG1 (the rotator is bound to throttle, so it will only spin when engines are running). Flaps are controlled with VTOL slider like usual.
To take off, throttle to 25% to begin your roll, then wait until you're going about 150 mph before engaging full throttle. Throttling to max from a standstill will lift the nose abruptly. You will still takeoff, but you won't look very stylish.

@Sunnyskies np
@MAHADI @Treadmill103 Thanks.
coooool...
@SHCow Let me do the math real quick...
It would have a wingspan of 560 ft based on my planned dimensions for Betelgeuse.
Truly monstrous.
@SHCow You're spot on about my plans for Betelgeuse. It's also the only major star in Orion that isn't blue (hence why all the planes so far are blue).
@SHCow Only 4 more stars left in Orion. I have an Idea of what I want Betelgeuse and Rigel to be. But what do you think Saiph and Bellatrix should be?
@SHCow It's pretty easy. The rotodome on this only took 7 parts to build. Just slap one on your Pelican or Behemoth, and you're done. Sharp eyes will realize this airframe is built using my earlier plane, Switch, as a base.
So THATS what that big thingy is on that boeng
