Wanted a challenge, so I did this.

Featuring:

- Folding Wingtips

- VTOL

- Cargo Bay

- Excessively powerful RCS

- Looks mostly accurate

 

A fully stock replica of the SHIELD Quinjet from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's rather heavy for a craft of its size (39.5 tons) but form was put before function with this craft. Nonetheless, it is fully capable of VTOL as well as "standard flight." In addition, there is a small cargo bay in the back (no door, sorry).

Tips, Action Groups, Etc.

AG1: Toggles Wingtips. Horizontal flight works better with the wingtips up, and VTOL works better with them down.

AG2: Toggles VTOL engines. Max TWR of ~1.25, but take a while to spool up.

AG3: Toggles main engines (Panthers)

AG4: Toggles main engine afterburners. I recommend full thrust afterburners for regular flight, considering how heavy the plane is.

 

- Top speed in level flight is about 85 m/s

- The RCS drain a lot of fuel, so I recommend using it only for stabilization while VTOLing.

- If you feel that the plane is about to pancake, just activate the VTOL engines.

- VTOL doesn't work too well on steep slopes.

- The large weight combined with the atypical wing shape leads to some interesting flight characteristics. Still, it is fairly maneuverable.

- The cloaking system is "undergoing maintenance" (it doesn't cloak)
