SCYLLA

OVERVIEW

Unmanned attack boats have already proven their value on the battlefield in the Black Sea, but have you ever wondered what kind of extraordinary effect it would have if these small boats could freely fly while launching attacks?


SCYLLA is a heavy unmanned surface vehicle capable of carrying multiple anti-ship weapons. It features a low-observable design and employs wolf-pack tactics to inflict relentless fear and threat upon enemy fleets. However, SCYLLA's poor aerodynamic design leads to limited maneuverability, preventing it from performing advanced maneuvers, which could become its fatal weakness


FEATURE

Surfboard


Back in 1953, the first jet-powered seaplane F2Y (Sea Dart), was newly built. Unlike conventional aircraft, the F2Y’s landing gear consisted of a pair of sled-like hydro-skis to assist with takeoff and landing on water. Although SCYLLA's overall design resembles that of a typical boat hull, the addition of hydro-skis serves a dual purpose, not only do they aid in water takeoff and landing, but they also function as flaps, enhancing the aircraft’s control at low speeds


WEAPON

ASM


SCYLLA equipped two ASMs specifically designed to attack enemy vessels. Each missile is highly powerful, capable of sinking a medium-sized ship with a single hit

Because the ASM are stored inside the aircraft, the bay doors open first during launch, then the missiles are released to a certain altitude before their engines ignite, and the missiles know where it is at all time


MPADS


(I forgot what the words stand for) Based on the impressive results Ukraine has achieved by mounting air defense weapons on unmanned boats, I believe SCYLLA should also be equipped with a certain level of anti-air capability—especially since it is designed to operate in the air...


CONTROL

Take off Set throttle to maximum and hold pitch down until the plane fully leaves the water, tkoff speed should be around 160knts
Landing Trim max, slow down to <200knts, and slowly touch down
(DONT exceed the speed limit or the plane will start rolling around)
(Geardown when doing these processes)

NOTE

Appearance

I know the first thing that came to your mind when you saw this plane def is "Man ts sht looks ridiculous as fuk " i know ts plane do looks like sth you would see in dream when you are sick, but i think the appearance is still pretty cool and unique ...right?

Control

The control performance is horrible in low speed, but everything will get better when speed up >300knts
