Airbus A400M Atlas with Darpa Gremlin Drone

50.6k Falkenwut  5.1 years ago

Name: Airbus A400M Atlas with Darpa Gremlin Drone
Type: Replica / Concept
Attempt #: 1
Falkenwut Generation Build: 2

This is my (Obsolete) Airbus A400M Atlas with a Darpa Gremlin UAV drone inside. Based on the below Concept artwork and inspired by Mustard's video on youtube. This was a project designed to act as a forward operating radar platform planes on the battlefield.

Unfortunately This was built before the Magnet part was introduced. You could try to somehow fly them back into the docking bay and close the door...

Suggested deployment method:
1> Once at a stable altitude, press 7 in order to keep the A400M in an "autopilot" mode, and press 8 to avoid adjusted the throttle or brake of the A400M.

2> Push the trim up in order to open both bay doors open

3> Press 1 to eject the drone via parachute.

4> At a safe distance, press 1 again to detach parachute

5> Press 2 To extend the drone's wings and fly away as a remote reconnosance drone or as a smart UAV bomb on the unsuspecting enemy.

Note : Destroying the A400M will have no fuel for the drone

Enjoy your flying. Anyone wishing to modify this plane is most welcome.

    @BlackhattAircraft The original model was supposed to be a C-130 or a modified version of one. However Since I had an airbus A400 already done, I just went ahead with it...

    Awesome! I'm glad to see a A400 because this plane is often overshadowed by the Lockheed Cash Cow (C-130)
