fs2004 BAE Harrier T4a VAAC

THis is the two seat T4 version of the BAW Harrier.  It comes in the Quintec Ripple colours.

Under the hood of the latest Harrier is a revolutionary new system called vectored-thrust
aircraft advanced flight control (VAAC). Designed by QinetiQ's predecessor,
DERA, with funding from the US-UK Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Office, VAAC uses
advanced "fly by wire" technology to turn over many of the Harrier's flight
characteristics to computers. This makes the aircraft much simpler to fly and
enables engineers to fine-tune it quickly for improved handling, based on pilot
feedback between sorties. It also provides valuable data for use in flight simulators.

The Harrier, with its unique swing-nozzle engines, continues to be the leading
"Short Take Off, Vertical Landing" (STOVL) aircraft, and remains essential to the
US Marine Corps, Royal Navy and RAF. Its two-seater cockpit has been modified to
accommodate VAAC, which enables the rear pilot to assume full control of the aircraft.
