Beautiful... Aint she?
This time Vega Corporation brings you a brand new ornithopter design!
(Works only on medium and high physics though)
Build uses no gyros, and all lift in VTOL mode is actually produced by wing flapping!
Controls
Activate1 - engage/disengage wings
Throttle - jet engines throttle
VTOL - collective
Trim - trim (works also in heli mode)
Pitch, Roll and Yaw work normally
Other Notes
This ornithopter doesnt have any kind of weaponry on it yet, but it still has 1 metric ton of load it can take, so you can fit plenty of fun stuff in there. (You can also increase the amount of load by decreasing amount of fuel, which in this version is about 50 mins worth of flying in airplane mode.)
Have fun :)

@KingHeadphones What do you mean?
@Quercon I’ve just seen it flying around on video maybe through a canyon or over a saddle?
Imagine if this had suspension for the landing gear
@MobileBuilder21 thanks
Great work
@TTL oh god not that movie…
@TTL Never watched it sadly
@Quercon you never heard about spy kids?
The DragonSpy 5 from spy kids 1 & 2?
@ToeTips no problem mate
Damn,
So sorry I couldn't help with this, my main device finally kicked the bucket, I haven't even logged on to discord for a while due to that.
@TTL What do you mean?
spykids?
@Quercon didnt know. Cool
@KingHeadphones Thanks!
By saying that you seen this on social media, you refer to this craft specificaly, or dune topters? Im just curious.
I’ve seen this on social media. Bro this level of engineering is top notch.
@DCSplanepro12 Damn, that would be 620M Solari
bro earned 10 kg of spices for this beutiful build
@STENDEC I could, but i dont really have much energy left for it, also the main challenge was to build something that actually flies in this way while also handling nicely, and weaponry is kidna outside the scope of this project.
Although you have my blessing to mod it however you like
@Quercon I wonder if you can make a weaponized version of the Scarab?
@Christiant2 Who would have guessed... ;)
Dune.
Bro Vega is my last name so I have a Corp named after me!?!
@GuardianAerospace Thanks!
Great job!
