Avro Canada Avrocar

Happy April Fools!

 

The Avro Canada Avrocar was originally designed as a vtol fighter-bomber, and was picked up by the US government. The low power of the engines, however meant that it could only lift off with ground effect about 1 metre, thus making it the world's first hovercraft, but not a terribly great fighter-bomber...

 

I made this as a challenge to myself in about two evenings, so it's kinda rough (port hardpoint doesn't work, no animations, etc.), but fun nonetheless. To make it true to the original concept, I scaled it up ~15% and gave it a flight model based on an A-4....

 

Have Fun!
