YAGR-3B UNAF VTOL Aircraft from Neon Genesis Evangelion [NO MODS]

UNAF Close Air Support VTOL Aircraft YAGR-3B (近接航空支援用垂直離着陸対地攻撃機 YAGR-3B) is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that appears in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series.

The YAGR-3B features two adjustable wing-mounted thrusters that rotate to allow vertical take-off and landing functionality as well as horizontal movement once in the air. Its blocky yet narrow main body has two forward cockpits of similar size, one on the dorsal side and one located ventrally. A series of machine gun and missile pods are mounted under the wings of the craft.

I have managed to recreate the YAGR-3B by reverse-engineering the shape and functionality of this aircraft using different 3D and real-life models. It has a compact stabilization system, which only uses thrusters and sensors to both balance the aircraft and control its roll and pitch levels. Also, I added an alarm system for various situations, like reaching a critical pitch/roll level or a destroyed engine. The rockets I made went through many prototypes, and this is the best version so far. Switching to advanced physics is recommended. Sources I used for this project are linked below.

Controls:

Dorsal Cockpit:
W/S - pitch down/up
A/D - yaw left/right
LMB/RMB (1/2) - roll left/right
3 - fire machine guns
4 - fire rockets
5/6 - switch to flying mode, rotates engines backwards/forwards
7 - turn on the engines
8/9 - increase/decrease the engine power

Ventral Cockpit:
1 - turn off the support engines
2 - safety mode
3 - turn off the stabilization system
4 - turn off the alarm system
