Iron Eagle 2.0 (WIP)

525 IronSword42  5.7 years ago

This is the first draft so don't go in expecting too much. If you go back a couple of months in my page, you'll find a project titled "Iron Eagle". This was a twin prop, VTOL plane and I was pretty happy with the result. However, I did not equip the plane with wheels so it is only capable of VTOL, not HTOL. This plane hopes to remedy that and suffice as a smaller version of the Iron Eagle, capable of VTOL, STOL, and HTOL. Considering this is my literal first draft, I am not disappointed. I have had the best result flying with the rotors at a 45 degree angle. It takes off very quickly and at only 80 mph (give or take) and maintains altitude at ample velocity. As always, leave any feedback down below. Please do make your own modifications (the roll needs a lot of work). Enjoy!
