Vehicles Cobra Hurricane

Stormgard · 01-09-2019, 10:51 PM

"Cobra's obsession with VTOL capabilities continues with the newest aircraft to join its air fleet. With the Hurricane, Cobra finally has a fast, maneuverable multirole jet fighter. The Hurricane is armed with a pair of 20mm cannon and has ten hardpoints for missiles and bombs. It achieves VTOL capability through a combination of thrust vectoring at the rear and a lift fan right behind the cockpit. With a lighter warload, it has a top speed of Mach 2."

I've wanted to do this one for a while - here comes my take on the Hurricane.

I wanted to build an improved version that retained the basic look and VTOL feature, but in a more manageable and realistic way. Instead of the wings and canards swinging up, I've simply made the jet nozzles in the back swivel down, and I've sacrificed the second seat for a lift fan right behind the cockpit. So my Hurricane has a VTOL system similar to the Yak-38 or the F 35B.
