A very basic, but very well performing vertical takeoff aircraft. A new classification, Vertical Takeoff and Net Capture (VTONC) requires a mobile net, which this aircraft drops into for landing due to lack of landing gear. This makes this aircraft crazily cheap, for the same price as a Nissan Leaf, at AUS$50k.
Due to a fair bit more testing, the majority of pilots in testing were able to slow it down enough to drop into a stationary net. Thus raising the price to AUS$64k, but with this more extensive testing, pilots were further disappointed by the lack of pitch manoeverability, lowering the price back down.

Cool! @FuryionAircraft
@TTHHSSSS Thanks! This was one of my very early aircraft, but the performance is still amazing, and could be a very effective swarm fighter. Needs a manoeverability upgrade though, I'm working on that.
Awesome idea!
