I think it should I think somebody with interest in this can take it further. Well this is my take on the russian cold war ground effect vehicle.I don't have alot of experience with plane maker but I figured I should share this.It flies really well though it still needs alot of stuff.The panel is really bad. O 2× Kuznetsov NK-8-4K turbojet, 103 kN (23,155 lbf) each Specifications (A-90)These are the real ones specs but this was remarkably close on the first try.Little refining was needed.So these specs can be used for this one. Nick Gaston(For his wonderful assortment of historical weapons that are just `the icing onthe cake’!) Jacques Brault and Nathan Powell, (For the engine /Fuel Cut-off switches from the NF-104.)Īnthony Booher and Austin Mayer, (For the Dynamicpressure gauge, borrowed from the X-15.)

Jacques Brault and Thibaud Duhamel, (I based the A-4Band A-6-EMW texture on his Bf110 texture.) Steve Mills, (His Fi103 (V1) was the starting pointfor my A-series) If you get and `unable to find aerofoil file’ message simplycopy the aerofoil’s from this downloads Aerofoil folder into X-Plane’s mainaerofoil folder. There have been some issues with non default aerofoil’s with some of myrecent uploads. No long winded flight manual this time, (Yippee!) just go to Aircraft, Weights and Fuel and startwith a Full Fuel Load, instead ofthe default half fuel load. This vehicle accelerates up to and sits at Mach one, at leastvirtually, if this had been built It think it would have shaken itself apart inthe first few seconds, keep an eye on the G-meter. So an A-4B fuselage fins and cockpit, brake-chute and rudder extensionsfrom an A-6-EMW and wheels from a Junkers JU-290 transport aircraft. Due to the smoothness of the ride Ialso thought it would be a bad idea to use the hyperbolically fueled A-8 or 9as though the engine would run for longer and be more powerful, any rupture offuel tanks or lines would result in an instant explosion. I restricted myself to use elements from my other Aggregate / V-2 basedprojects, in a kind of spare parts / scrap build made form parts left over fromdeveloping the Aggregate series of missiles. Here could be the result, take an A-4 (V-2) missile take off most ofthe fins, then add a cockpit, brake chutes, and wheels form a large aircraft tomake a `vehicle’ capable of doubling the pre war land speed record in one go. What if in the 1940’s the rocket engineers atPeenemunde took time out from developing missiles for the third Reich anddecided to use their expertise to make an attempt at the land speed record. This was a moment of insane inspiration, come alternate history and100% indulgence on my part.
