Rhea, the wife of Cronus

[Azimech]

77 Industries presents:

Azi31 Rhea

 

Rhea, the wife of the Greek Titan Cronus. This smaller helicopter is based on the Azi24 Cronus but actually a lot more capable in terms of speed and range. It’s also well suited for rugged terrain like mountains.

• Also, control has improved. The RCS toggle is for all jets on the tail and on top/underneath the main engines. For example action group 2 pushes the tail down. If you press 3 it cancels 2 and starts pushing the tail up. There is no way of canceling both except double tapping the RCS key. Remember!

• Transition from VTOL to airplane: enable FMJ’s (Forward Motion Jets, AG 5) … when picked up enough speed, switch to a lower power setting (i.e. from full to ¾ … see action groups list). Eventually you can cut the main engines (abort) and fly on just the FMJ’s, with a dramatically reduced fuel consumption.

• Some specs:

• Max range in airplane mode: 2300km.

• Max speed: 172m/s.

• Max altitude in helicopter mode: 8500m.

• Max gross weight: 232t.

• Part count: 383.

• Don't want the rotating beacon? Just remove it. Otherwise decouple the unit, change focus and make it rotate like any electric motor.

Ehm, yeah there's an even bigger one. But I'm not sure I'll release it.

I didn't initially realize that it's bigger but then I saw the shadow. Wow...
