    Project - Vertical Lift 2035

    As to the supersonic issue, the prop-rotor once in the "prop mode" are slowed down to about 85% to overcome the tip compresibility issue. Having been around CV-22 flying they are extremely quiet when in airplane mode. They are very loud in helicopter mode. Will be interesting to see what Sikorsky does with those eight rotors moving a real high speed (for a helicopter). One of the issues for an Arma SB>1 will be how the pilot uses the prop to accelerate and decelerate. There is also an interesting technique with both of these aircraft that they can "hang" on the props. For the Valor it can put the nacelles at 95 degrees and have a five to ten degree nose low hover. SB>1 can also do this by reverse pitch on the prop. So both can back "up". You might find it interesting to know that the last design developed for the Army/Air Force Joint Future Theater Lift program was a large twin tilt rotor. Think a smaller C-17 with a larger V-22 wing. Did not happen due to $$. USAF needed money for F-35 and new bomber. Of to download unsung mod.

    The real world V-280 is expected to lift up to 9K payload no issue.

    That is some awesome work.

    Very much looking forward to seeing this aircraft in game.

    And they are not as sharp as you might think.

    AH-96 is looking great. Colors look good too. One small recommendation might be to add some NVG formation lights to the inside of the V-tail.

    Wow. And I thought the "V" tail would be to difficult. From watching the video I agree that the FM is probably right given the thrust from the two fans. Like the sound of the bird as well. Superb work!

    Good to see your creativity has stepped up another notch! Think the AH-1 looks mighty fine the way it is. Some tweeks you might consider: 30mm gun change out for the 20mm. If you really want to change the look perhaps a V-tail, however that is likely a huge PITA and not worth the effort. Really looking forward to flying the guns soon.
  9. For the old team; RFA recon in Pacific theater. Ol' reliable continues to fly.

    Just an FYI for your fans, a 20mm or greater cannon would trash the 58D airframe in the real world. .50 Cal is about as big as you are going to get. To much weight and recoil.

    Rattler look great. Nice subtle "upgrade" to Hellfire-like missile. As believable as the 92 itself. Very cool.

    Nice. All the flight data in one compact location.

    That is some impressive work! Demonstrating my ineptitude about modeling, could you use the FLIR view from the UAS as a start point for your PNVS?

    I gotta say that is one awesome looking machine.

    That is one great looking aircraft! Curious if you are planning on articulating the fans like the SA-2? Not needed, yet that much more coolness factor.

    Sikorsky S-97 Raider - EARLY WIP

    Very glad to hear that the Raider is still in development. Heck, the arrival of the bambino alone is enough to keep you busy, but wow! you went for the trifecta! So recommend: a. keep Mamma happy b. keep the baby happy c. keep the boss happy, and somewhere down near g. or h. comes us grumblers yammering for your mod. Standing by to assist when you need it.

    Curtiss JN-4 Jenny

    Well... If it just didn't say U.S.Navy on the side. ;) This will be another fun addition to the stable.

    United States Air Force( 2015)

    With all the other goodness going on, any chance that the up-gunned CV-22 is going to get an update?
  20. Dang! Looks like you paid attention to the platform instructor. I slept through most of that and just attributed the flying thingy to PFM. ;)
