#F/A-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle "Silk Purse"
39 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
It's a test vehicle modified for the purpose of investigating controlled flight at a specified angle of attack.
I think it was a study to see if it could improve upon the ideal of Aerial Dogfighting.
They used the F/A-18 Hornet as the Test Bed.
whats the dif
What do you mean?
how is it different from normal f18
thrust vectoring?
It's a test vehicle, much like F-15 STOL/MTD.
Basically a different thruster setup + aerodynamic changes to improve control while performing aerial maneuvers during dogfight or any similar scenario.
omega read the wikipedia
I saw this, just now and thought it'd be an interesting suggestion to bring up.
It's one of those NASA Program test vehicles, like the F-104 Starfighter or the Bell X-1
so no visual diff from f18
Well actually yeah
rejected
Eh, you're no fun
you dont read rules so you get rejected
State a rule that conflicts with this?
Instead of being a buzzkill
It's just a Hornet with a different thruster setup, it's a test vehicle like some of the other toys you have in-game.
Oh well, Taking the post down.
the one you didnt read
I went through the rules, you're bullshitting me.
This is an F/A-18 with a different thruster setup.
So it would fall under customization, like your F-15 ACTIVE's STOL/MTD
Are you just looking to push me around?
Grow up.
renlost has been warned. || Suggested variant
So basically the same bullshit y'all pulled with the STOL/MTD?
No difference, except for looks
You're biased.
it does have good vis dif and more important stat change
