Meet the Lycan

Named after a word for werewolf while playing on the A-8's program acronym, "Low Altitude Combat Aircraft - Naval."

As a routine PEA-maker,

I couldn't help but join when I saw @Alvinwilson345 made a 50-part challenge. Though this here Lycan would count as an EFA, as it is not real (unlike PEAs, which must be replicas).

But I didn't just want to make an aircraft. I wanted to make something with features to contend. So here we are: an aircraft with rotating nozzles, capable of STOL, and a full VR cockpit. Yes, a VR cockpit. Maybe with a bit limited instruments, but it should be VR compatible nonetheless!

Uh... that's about it. Have fun out there!
