experimental attack aircraft

149 Oogabooga21  2.6 years ago

This is an experimental design born from when I foumd out about the ah-56 cheyenne, and this builds on that concept, but focuses more on not being a helicopter, but more a stol and low flying low speed aircraft. Trim up to start rotor, throttle for forward motion, VTOL for collective pitch. No yaw control while hovering. Act 4 for gyroscope. How to fly: to take off, trim up, throttle up, and put vtol up full. Gyroscope is optional. Fly with vtol at half up(or whatever is necesary, as the small wings take alot of lift at high speed), and throttle depemding on your desired speed. Fly like you would a fixed wing aircraft. Land like any fixed wing, but you can lower the landing speed alot more.
