Hey y'all!
Now there are many surprises with this aircraft... for one... me? A post-WW2 aircraft? Yeparoonie! Also... wow that thumbnail is detailed compared to the past... well, I got a new compooter, and look at that!
(Note: 99% of this was built on my phone, my soon-to-be teased major aircraft will be 90% on my computer)

Let's dig into this:

Background

After the fall of the NSDAP in the Deutsches Reich, and the rise of the Federal German Republic (Allied occupation zones), the need for rapid technological development was not in the slightest forgotten. In the early 60s, Messerschmitt and Heinschel came together in an allied conglomerate known as the Entwicklungsring Süd, aka, the EWR. They were tasked with designing a mach-2 VTOL aircraft, while another, Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke, VFW, was tasked with designing a basic VTOL interceptor/strike aircraft, which was used to design the later Harrier jet

The VJ101C was both an accomplishment and a let-down. While it did manage to surpass mach-1 (by only a few knots), it humiliatingly did not come near mach-2 speed, and it was slow, unmaneuverable, and overall described as a pain to fly. But, it was better designed and worked better than its American counterpart, the Bell D-188A, which looks shockingly similar. Nonetheless, I have recreated this aircraft here for you all to enjoy! (I did kinda rush it, as I have had it sitting in my files for two months now)

Controls:

VTOL is the only unique control, and so I want to describe it here:

AGs 6 & 7 are the only working Activation Groups. AG6 rotates the engines 45 degrees, without Gyro or help, and can allow a very bad ski take off, so I suggest using only AG7 for ski take offs, as AG7 rotates the engines 45 degrees, opens all the doors for the liftfans, and activates the Gyro, making a smooth VTOL takeoff if used with AG6, and a nice clean ski takeoff
Of course, this aircraft can just as easily do normal takeoff and especially landings.

I hope y'all enjoy!
