The Wright Air Force and Navy needed a compact fast, and capable fighter for the ever growing fleet of new planes. The Wright isle government decided to go with C.A.B’s Idea which had not really been explored at the time of when it was thought up,VTOL which was super rare to come across, and hard to make right, but C.A.B decided to make it that way since it was the only way that the knew of to be able to take off of the USS Beast’s short deck. To be able to fit more aircraft on the deck, C.A.B went for a stubby and small design, which would later prove hard to work with. The main wings of the airplane had two fuel tanks to give it more range, and to house the air mixture for the RCNs. For VTOL mode to work, to doors at the end of the exhaust tube would close re - diverting air to the nozzles pushing thrust out of them making it fly vertically. But because of how small the footprint of the airplane was it made it hard to find engines that would produce enough thrust that would be small enough to fit, and still leave room for landing gear, and the cot-pit. On the note of the cot-pit, it was hard to integrate as it was vary compact and un-comfortably sized space said by some pilots who flew it. It was this that lead to the famous bubble cot-pit which lead to its goofy look. In the end we where left with a goofy looking plane!

@EVERE thank you!
@Mod can you link this build to supersoli8’s VTOL re-build challenge?
I did, and then I think I accidentally changed the cot-pit causing it to loose auto credit, or I could have accidentally saved it and built off of the saved one.

I’ll still rate, I trust you started building off
Ask seeras
wow, it's really cool
@supersoli8 for some reason it did not add credit to the aircraft but can you still count it, or can I get a mod to link it to it?
