KX-11 Eagle Jump-Jet

Description
It's a bit like the harrier, but not really.

Long-range VTOL with good handling characteristics and simple controls. HOTAS compatible.

Stats
  • Propulsion: Single Jet Engine
  • Fuel: 1650L fuel
  • Flight time: 1+ hours
  • Speed: 100m/s (360kmph)

Operation

Use the keystart to toggle the engine. The throttle on the right is used to adjust speed in horizontal flight only. The master electrical breaker is located under the left intake.

If you want a VTOL takeoff, press 1 (indicated by VT on the MFD) before starting the engine and wait until the plane begins to hover.

If you want a conventional takeoff, wait until the engine is at full speed, then disengage the brakes and throttle up.

Switching between modes in flight is possible, press 1 at any time to instantly switch modes - it is very smooth and reliable. But ensure that the throttle is up when going from VTOL to conventional mode or you will drop out of the sky!

Auto-hover works in VTOL and conventional mode but the craft is quite easy to control so it is not necessary.

Known Issues
  • Sometimes at first take-off, the control surfaces will flap violently for a few seconds
  • Throttle control does not work during VTOL mode - not necessary for flight but slightly annoying during takeoff and landing.
