Pheonix X5

...apparently. Just tried to think of a cool name... and failed. Anyway, this concept art was the final part of some scrap development elsewhere in my gallery.

Crew: 2
Armaments: 20mm Cannon
16 intenal rocket silos
chaff system
Sensors: Top and Nose side hull sensors with Infrared, Ultra Violet, Heat Sensor, Night Vision and Range finding capabilities.

Retractable tail makes it an ideal choice for all sectors of the military - navy, marines and airforce, as it enables the vehicle to be stored in a much smaller space on aircraft carriers, in transport, and concealed when on the ground. Its menouverability is unchallenged by conventional rotor craft yet is only pilotable through the use of sophisticated computer systems due to its unstable nature in flight (like all modern fighterjets). Its top sensor eye enables it to keep hulldown positions in wadis and behind trees to view targets in flight it cas scan the horizon for threats. Its nose eye helps target objects on the ground and is linked to the 20mm Cannon for look and shoot responses. The lack of an overhead rotor system ensures survavability of the pilots through an ejection system.
