Auto Credit Based on Skua's BF-279 Cortex

(fictional. based off a drawing) The BF-279 or 'cortex' was designed to be a supersonic bomber capable of carrying light pay loads and dropping them without being noticed. The need was for a light supersonic jet bomber to take-off from a carrier and this jet was designed just for that. its compact design allows for it to take up less room than normal. Thanks to Skua for making the awesome fan cover!

CONTROLS:*
Act-1 for trim (helps for take-off)
Act-2 for bomb bay

    @SyntaxError Technicalities, technicalities - It appear VTOL to the voters who never test it. I still like it, no complaints here!

    This was no attempt at VTOL, face it.; but it looks cool! And the trim works efficiently. Fun to fly!
