Logo design by segaprophet Building advanced experimental aircraft. Released Projects: Z-51 "Cobra" V/STOL Behold, Zepto Eaglework's most advanced aircraft! Powered by (PATENT PENDING) Swivel-Jet 2.0 technology, the Z-51 can switch from a mediocre VTOL to a forward-flying brick in seconds! Yes, you heard right. This stock aircraft (which is totally not meant to be an F-35B replica) has a pivoting engine! Powered by Magic™ . The older model demonstrating the Swivel-Jet: Action groups: How to fly (Read carefully!): Vertical Takeoff: Horizontal Takeoff: Transition to horizontal flight: Transition to VTOL mode: Flight Tips: Always leave the aircraft on VTOL mode when not in use. Wait until the plane has stopped before dropping the rear engine if you want to takeoff vertically after you have landed horizontally. The open-end of the cargo bay creates tremendous amounts of drag and will prevent the plane from flying faster than ~150m/s.

Lift Fan on and main engine swiveled down. Vertical Liftoff Lift Fan off and main engine swiveled inline. Horizontal flight Status: Testing Completed (0.20) Future Projects: These are proposed project ideas for the future. They may or may not be realized, but they are quite intriguing.
