VTOL

The VTOL is a lightweight aircraft in Astroneer that allows the player to travel long distances across the planets by flying over the surface of the planet.

Source
Players will obtain a free VTOL and the schematic for crafting more from completing the Finished Product mission.

Uses
The VTOL takes off vertically by double-tapping the take-off button ( on PC), and holding the same button allows the player to ascend higher. The VTOL can descend by holding the descend button ( on PC). Double-tapping the descend button when near the ground will land the VTOL.

Holding the forward movement key will accelerate the VTOL forward, speeding up after 10 seconds of holding for faster flight. The left and right movement keys will strafe the VTOL, while moving the camera will turn the VTOL in the direction the player wishes to move.

The VTOL uses Hydrazine as fuel, and will auto-pull canisters if the current one runs out.
