[0.15 + Damned Robotics] 'Owl' - High-Performance Tiltjet VTOL

[RavingManiac]

Thought this was worth sharing:

Owl Mk-5a

The Owl is a tiltjet aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a jet aircraft.

Flight notes:

- Engine tilt is controlled using the \'7\' and \'8\' keys.

- Conventional takeoff is best done with the engines tilted at 45 degrees.

- Tilting the engines upwards during flight allows for sharp, banking turns.

Design notes:

- There are two rotatrons in each wing; the first rotates the engine, while the second rotates the outer wing in the opposite direction. The net effect of this is that the engine rotates while the outer wing remains stationary.

- The fore and aft fuel tanks feed the right and left engines respectively. This ensures that the centre of gravity does not shift as fuel is depleted.

- During hovering, pitch is controlled solely by the thrust-vectoring of the engines.

Oh, and while flying it in reverse is theoretically possible, you\'ll just get a fireball if you try

Generic and conventional, but that is what gets these VTOL\'s in the air! Looks simple and from past experience pretty good to handle.

Wow, the necro power is huge in this one!

Welcome to the forum! Unfortunately this thread is 3,5 years old, the user is probably not active anymore and the craft file gone. So next thing you know a moderator is going to lock it.

The only things I can see that haven't changed are the undercarriage, struts and fuel lines.
