Tomahawk Aviation XXL Futura 550N engine!

Post by dominicm »

Demonstrated at ProWing Show in Germany. 3.7 metres wingspan and powered by a Jetcat 550N engine.

They say bigger flies better. Have to agree based on this demo.

Starting at 3:38, I think that is a "flat spin." I thought I read that it is impossible to get out of such a spin. But maybe some RC jets can power out of anything. Do I have any of this correct?

This jet has thrust vectoring. A nozzle at the back of the thrust tube which redirects the thrust for pitch and yaw control.
