MQ-77 Urd

1,534 CanCav  4.3 years ago

The MQ-77 Urd (Fate) is a Tactical Air-Superiority UAV (TAS-UAV) developped and deployed by the Royal Canadian Airforce in 2021 as a responce to the needs of WW3. Designed to be semi autonomus (one in every squadron is remotely piloted while the rest operate on their own. This is to limit unrest among freindly forces) and to operate from the HMCS Montreal aircraft carrier. The MQ-77 and MQ-77B (ground attack variant) quickly replaced most of the conventional aircraft in the RCAF so there would be a much lower demand for pilots and thus, more people available for other roles.

Maximum Speed: ~1,600 km/h

Weapons:
2x AIM-9 Sidewinder
2x AIM-120 AMRAAMS
1x 50mm Air to Air autocannon
1x 25mm Vulcan cannon

Important controls:
AG1: Arresting hook
AG2: Master Arm
AG7: Drobe shoot
AG8: Gyroscope

Important notes:
Takeoff speed is around 250 mph
Relies heavily on trim (downwards on the slider) at first

PS
This is my first post with XML modding so any feedback is greatly appreciated. And I was very obviously influenced by the drones in Ace Combat 7.
