How to Short Take Off:

Set VTOL down, apply throttle above 50% — the plane will take off automatically.

How to PSM:

Deactivate AG8.

Introduction

Hours before the deadline, I finally made it! This is also my first time joining a building challenge!

Here I present to you the 6th-generation, carrier-based, tailless, thrust-vectoring VTOL fighter, the ultimate weapon in the sky: F-64.
Since I didn’t have enough time to fully complete it, I’ve decided to release it as a prototype plane. The production version will be released in the future!

Features

  • Realistic design inspired by many 5th and 6th generation fighters. The general design is based on the result of the poll I created.
  • Complete VTOL and STOL functionality with smooth transitions between flight modes.
  • VR Cockpit adapted from my WIP F-35, modified for this fighter.
  • Clickable multi-function displays!
  • PSM enabled by thrust vectoring.
  • Stealth design everywhere.
  • 380 parts!!!

    With VTOL down, this plane can do a short take off from USS Tiny.

    In VTOL mode, the controls are the same as F-35B: pitch for altitude, throttle for forward speed!

    @Defalt1 Really? What happened? I think you need to wait until it picks up speed then it will start the transition process. Please keep the VTOL slider down until it finishes the transition automatically.

    @Uhhi45 for me VTOL works just fine,it is just that the aircraft wobbles whenever over 800-900 km/h

    Whillis, don't change the PSM too much, I feel like it's perfect as it is. It drains speed, but only makes you do crazy stuff at about 100, which Is perfect. All the other PSM aircraft do the same boring PSM over and over, and this is a refresher, honestly. Btw pls phix vtol its not very easy to control
