Detachable Cockpit Experiment: GCP-MR Zombie

7,895 GCPrototypes  3.2 years ago

Sorry for the long pause, but the last two months I was very busy with other works..

[Fictional story] The GCP-MR Zombie was a bomber-attack aircraft designed to fly with minium escort. To allow this the plane was capable of detaching the cockpit when shot down and transforming it in a small fighter, that had to be used to attack the enemy fighters. The idea was good but the complexity and the costs of the project made it impossible to make at the time, remaining only a bizarre concept.

How to fly:

After the take-off turn off AG8 and activate it just after touching the ground when landing.

AG1: Detach cockpit, once activated do not turn it off, it keeps the controls on

AG2: Cockpit parachute

On "ground-targets mode" the 10 rockets are the ones used for the cockpit rocket engine, do not use them to shoot

Good fly

    Here’s a trick: strap a boom 50 into the fuselage, XML the explosive power, then when you run out of ordnance or are heavily damaged, detach the cockpit, then remotely pilot the Remaining fuselage into your target. Life-saving Kamikaze!!! Mistel Composite!!!

    @tsampoyLite Well, if you need to carry bombs and rockets I think that you need something a little bit bigger and more powerful than a tiny rocket fighter..

    So why not just use the cockpit to fly

    When the cockpit is detached it reminds me of a XP-55 Ascender. A scuffed rocket powered version. This is cool, I really like this!

    @ThomasRoderick Haha, nice reference.. However I called it "Zombie" because the fact that it can attack even after beig damaged or shot down remembers me a zombie that returns from death

    Shouldn't it be called something like "Revenant" or "Graveriser", though?
    ...Or I will shoot it down with my peashooter.
    Yes, that's a Plants vs Zombies reference.
