TRX - 6th Generation Demonstrator

"We’ve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator"


TRX was a classified pseudo-6th generation VTOL fighter aircraft.

4 aircraft were built, the program intended to develop a new twin engine air superiority fighter for the airforce featuring advanced technology such as thrust vectoring. Unfortunately the decision to add a central thrust vector fan greatly reduced internal missile and fuel capacity. Although manoeuvrable, the platform could not hold enough internal ordnance to meet the requirements and was cancelled.

Technology refined on this testbed led to the development of the TR-64, the current premium front line fighter of the air force.

Basic operating instructions

TR Series pilots will be familiar with the operation of this aircraft.

Jump & grab the handle to climb in

Press and hold ignition to start

Engage the lift fan, you are now in VTOL hover mode (standard helicopter controls)

1/2 controls forward thrust

Disengage the lift fan during forward flight

Disengage the Gyro to open full flight performance of the aircraft


Pilots notes

Thrust vectoring responsiveness increases with aircraft speed.

Do not engage the lift fan when engines are exceeding the max rpm stated

Landing gear is more suited to VTOL landing, conventional takeoff can be achieved with care.

Do not use the altitude hold for adjusting large distances.
