Y/VTOL-37

Skyward System's foray into the world of VTOL fighters begins. This is an experimental aircraft built to test VTOL using only jet engines in a conventional layout and not with separate lift engines (totally not a Yak-36).

 

This does have a F-35 style flap underneath where thrust is re-directed from the engines and down to push the plane up, but I didn't get any screenshots of the bottom. I might take some and put them in a separate image.

 

I will build something out of real Lego eventually....

 

(Also on the side view the screenshot cut off the tail-thruster/stabiliser)
