Project New Transport Craft

[Donamy]

Don't know what to call it yet, but I was wondering if someone can create a .dll, that lets you add a rocket engine, to the side of a vessle and be able to rotate the the thrust from vertical to straight flight ?

No elevators an no rudder? Ouch...

 

[Donamy]

Not yet. []

Looks almost like a Dornier Do 31 on steroids...

Wow...would it be used to stab enemies?

No, it was just the German equivalent of a X-plane, it had a larger pitot probe for research.

The Do 31 is still the only VTOL transport plane. Despite never having been build in series.

Update, I think I'm getting carried away, ... but it's fun.

Hmm, how much authority would those ailerons have, being that far inboard?

The canards on the narcels do the rolling

The V-22 doesn't count?

 

[Urwumpe]

The V-22 doesn't count?

No, because it is counted as helicopter, like all tilt-rotors.

I like the idea. When you have no ammo to strafe ground troops, just make a very low pass and see how many you can shishkabob.

Actually, it's not a helicoptor...they have their own category, powered-lift.

update:

The mesh is complete, I added a few things that open and close (eye candy) and the tail pods now also rotate, suggested by Kulch. The aft section holds the gally, head,other storage, plus the space suits for EVA, accessed from the cockpit by a "jeffery's tube" over the cargo area. Still need to work on the texturing and VC.
