Overview: the F210 "Lawn Dart" is a supersonic VTOL interceptor aircraft, armed with a single minigun and a Nuclear Guardian missile. Its small and compact design gives little room for fuel storage, meaning the aircraft cannot fly for long periods of time. The aircraft was designed to takeoff, shoot down, and land in a short period of time.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Maximum Airspeed (TAS): 1000mph, 1609kph, 869knots.
Maximum Altitude: 60,000ft, 18,288m.
Takeoff Power (Full Load): 50%
Controls: VTOL: Launcher Arm Control. Activate1: Launcher Detach/VTOL Gyroscope. Activate2: Nuclear Guardian Activation.

To transition to forward flight, angle the aircraft forward until the airspeed reaches 200mph (322kph, 174knots), then disable the VTOL gyroscope.

To transition to vertical flight (landing phase), pitch the aircraft up until the aircraft is at 60 degrees (pitch angle) or above, then activate the VTOL gyroscope.

NOTES

The Nuclear Guardian has the same range as a standard Interceptor missile, so it can be fired from farther distances. However, if you are near the missile explosion, it may cause moderate to severe lag, so use caution when firing the missile. The launcher arm must be at 90 degrees before launching the aircraft.
