[VTOL/STOL] Harrier Jump-jet replica (Harrier 2 released!)

[AlexanderTeaH]

I present to you - the Harrier Jump-jet.

And here's my latest replication of it (the Harrier 2)

Description:

The plane can reach speeds just under 200 m/s at sea level and well beyond 500 m/s at an altitude higher than 10 KM. It's about as maneuverable as a flying brick when compared to my standards (although the real thing would probably envy this kind of maneuverability ), but, it's not just a horizontally flying brick, it's also a VTOL. This is where it excels, as you'll clearly see if you look at the top of the plane where the 10 ASAS modules are located. Hovering force can be reached between 2/3 and 3/3 throttle. And yes, it does fit through the tunnel (if you're Mareczex333 or a fan of him, you'll know what I mean). Flying the thing with the SAS off is possible, but I recommend keeping it on as the craft likes to slip even during the slightest of rolls.

Action groups:

1 - Main Engines

2 - VTOL engine

Harrier 1

Harrier 2

The amount of ASAS for this craft is too damn high xD

I agree. I'm working on reducing the amount of ASAS to a more reasonable amount and will be publishing a second, revised version of my Harrier.

Thanks! I'm redoing the wings to more closely replicate the real thing. Stay tuned!

Updated post with a second Harrier which has a different wing design.
