A small trainer aircraft to prepare new pilots for the Q-18 series bombers/attackers/tankers/cargo/airliners.
Activation group 1: drag chutes
Activation group 2:
Activation group 3:
Activation group 4:
Activation group 5:
Activation group 6 and brakes: thrust reverse
So...
As the Q-18 jets are pretty small, fast and hard to control, I built a trainer jet.
Takeoff guide:
Full thrust
Flaps half down. VTOL slider down by half.
80mph-Takeoff or reject
90mph-V1
95mph-VR
100mph-V2
Pull up to 20 degrees
Positive rate-Gears up
Flaps up
Proceed to climb at 15 degrees. If airspeed drops, pitch down.
Landing:
180mph and 1000 feet above runway-gears down, full flaps
Engage thrust reverse when applicable*
110mph and 10 feet above runway- flare to 5 to 10 degrees
On runway- Engage thrust reverse
Go around procedures
Full thrust, flaps up and gears up
