Auto Credit Based on SchadeAircaftCompany's Carrier Borne Aircraft Challenge (Try 2) CLOSED

The Navy saw the Wrench as an excellant plane and purchased and converted it to carrier use. The Sea Wrench featured a fold able inverted gull wing, four mini guns, 3 points, and a taxi assist system. When starting the powerful license built Bristol Centaurus it would shake a lot due to the small airframe. The Bristol Centaurus provided excellent thrust giving the Sea Wrench a top speed of 404mph at 10,000ft. "It was a rocket. Climb 30 degrees and it would fly like a soul going to heaven," One pilot claimed.

Pros:
Excellent Top speed
Excellent Climb rate
Respectable turn time
Respectable stall speed
Good service ceiling
Has Wep
Armoured engine

Cons:
Bad performance at slow speed 180 and less mph.
Bleeds speed in a turn
Mediocre energy retention
Using Wep in the air would roll the plane.
Wep only increases the speed by 12-5 mph
Wep would stay on until it is brought to 0
Weak airframe

Tips:
On using Wep: one side rolls faster
Taxing: do not exceed 2% Throttle with
engine on, 5% only with Ag7 on

Ag1 Arresting hook
Ag2 Engine start/ War Emergency Power
Ag4 Internal lights
Ag5 Drop armaments
Ag6 External lights
Ag7 Unlocks tail steering + Taxi assist
Ag8 Engine, unlocks Flaps
Ag8 + Vtol Flaps
Vtol Fold wings

Stallspeed: (with armaments)
without flaps 109 mph
with flaps 80 mph
Top speed: 404 at 10,000ft
Takeoff speed: 120mph
Efficient climb rate: 30 degrees
Boom 50 can be swapped with torpedo, and rockets can be swapped with Boom 25's
All points can be swapped with fuel tanks if wished
Needs trim on slow speeds.

20% on approach
15% on final approach
10% on final
0% on flare

Initial design: I was thinking of making a plane that could climb very well, The CW 21 came to mind thus the engine mounting (see underneath), then I strapped on Corsair wings made the engine cowling front a mix of the Seafury, and A6M2, and paired the back fuselage with P 38 radiators.

    The F4U Corsair is one of my favorite aircraft, and so is the A6M “Zero”, and kinda looks like you smashed the 2 together lol. Was quite a good flyer, and landing was pretty nice, although the tail wheel kinda gave some issues while taxiing where it’ll stop the plane if you turn it too far, but other than that, pretty good design. I also liked the folding horizontal stabilizers too

    @SchadeAircaftCompany I first thought the taxi assist was actually gonna be invisible people pushing the plane. If you want to you can turn it back to 45 degrees. The purpose of the folding stabilizers was that it would lift the back end at 25mph causing it to tilt left or right, a second later it would crash.
