MS-11 Vector

6,374 AV8R  7.2 years ago

Fictional, F-35 inspired jet I made to play with vectored thrust. Specifically tailored to it's "do whatever you want" maneuverability in the 180-300 knot range. Activate 2 (rcn) and 3 (thrust vectoring) and throttle to full. You can recover from literally any flight condition with pitch, roll, and yaw. Imagine pushing a shopping cart around backwards - when you're flying slow with vectored thrust you're steering with the back end. Want the nose to go up? Push the back end down. Want to yaw right? Think of it as yawing the back left. Want to go fast? Neutralize your controls and disable thrust vectoring and you're flying a normal airplane. Have fun!
