This is really just an announcement for this new interceptor/Reconnaissance Platform.
This will be my most detailed build yet, unless I retrofit other aircraft with some of these things.
Adding:
Missiles (IDK how to do pls help???)
Different configurations (Clean (streak), Reconnaissance, and Intercepter)
Btw, the inlets are square now...
Currently, it is capable of Mach 2.5+ speeds but the most difficult part is getting it past Mach 1.
This is because of the frankly massive LERX that can create so much lift they basically pull the plane out of a straight down dive from anywhere above 3,000 meters. Also, it can go from straight down to up in less than 200 meters off the ground (user input).
Also, it has waaay too much fuel so I might halve the fuel amount. This is because it can easily go intercontinental at Mach 2+ speeds.
Also some flight characteristics:
Takeoff speed: 60-70 m/s (do not pitch up aggressively!!!)
Stall speed: 50-60 m/s (slowest I've gone in the air was about 13 m/s, but I wasn't in control) Great Stall Performance, recovers easily due to said Massive LERX.
- Because of this LERX, it sometimes pulls up on its own, and stalls itself. Be careful!
It has multiple cameras for RECON.
- Do not touch SLIDER 1 for now, the flaps just don't work.
Kind of based off the MIG-25...
Peak speed is 50% fuel or less so that's probably all the streak variant will carry.
It'll also be heavily inspired by the F-15 Steak Eagle (bare metal, missing instruments, less fuel, less pitch control, etc).

@Buddycat The stripped down version is out now! This airframe remains difficult to fly through.

Why is the craft that I said to not download my most downloaded craft?! 😭
-
@Spaceman2004 should I release the plane in a clean (streak-eagle type) configuration or interceptor or Reconnaissance or all three?
