Description

Treat her with respect and the Untied Technologies FA-41 Dawn is an impressive 2-seat fighter-bomber capable of delivering a wide variety of payloads over the horizon. …but push this baby too hard and it could quickly lead to disaster!

A stock aircraft called FA-41 Dawn. Built with 81 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark2Cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.5.

Design Notes

The empty fuselage just behind the cockpit was a perfect location to add a spot for a much needed second crew member, the Flight Engineer. With the ability to manage an array of advanced science armaments and repack parachutes, the Flight Engineer is an important crew member to have on long range scouting missions.

The K.O.B. Cruise Missile is attached centerline on the fuselage belly-to-belly with the FA-41. After launch, the operator is expected to roll the missile 180
° to its proper flying attitude. As the missile is designed to carry a rather unique payload, launching and attempting to fly it empty may result in loss of control due to weight and balance being out of acceptable range.

Dawn Patrol

One of our weather satellites has picked up an anomaly. Valentina and Bill are dispatched to the northern ice shelf to investigate what appears to be a large hole in the ice. This should be a good mission for our newest long range fighter bomber, the FA-41 Dawn. Bill is a tad apprehensive about the untested K.O.B. Cruise Missle that Jeb has strapped on the bottom of the craft but Valentina says not to worry; she’s got it all under control!
