"At least, for now, efficiency comes with a hefty cost".
A quick build on my iOS device. Plenty of flaws, of course.
The E-Type is utilizes extremely efficient EF1 engines to stay flying for hours on a small fuel tank. This type of aircraft is most commonly used in rural areas, where transporting large amounts of fuel is excessively expensive. There are some problems with the use of these engines. First, they only have one mode of thrust, which means that they can only go to full throttle. To give the pilot some control over the amount of thrust, the engines were mounted on hinges, with angles providing some reduced thrust, if needed. The engines are not very powerful, either, as a quad-engine configuration yielded a fairly slow aircraft.
Controls/tips.
VTOL: engine angle.
- Only use VTOL DOWN. Do not move the lever up.
I either am a bad pilot, or the airplane doesn't maneuver well. Sorry about that. These engines are quite weak.
