I want to take a break from Luft 46' series aircraft, and I decided to moving forward with My 'CMF' series and some fictional craft I made
Sorry not posting any craft for a while because this project take a lot of time
Thanks for 1K upvotes BTW
Description
After shooting down of F-117 in 1999 by Yugoslavia, F-117 proved vulnerable to enemy and new aircraft was required to replace it. And in early 21th century (the exact time is still classified) US Air Force put a proposal, the proposal was can carry the new ordnance, that is AUBP-070 (Advanced Unguided Bunker Penetrator) lightweight bomb, have stealth ability, and crew of two. The US Navy was also interested to this project, and US Navy want the proposal also added with new requirement, that is carrier-based aircraft and can carry the still experimental AMRAS-36/A (Advanced Medium-Range Anti Ship) finless missile, and so the work began with only total of 2 years 4 months of R&D. This freshly new aircraft are nicknamed 'Firebird' and also called 'Amelia' by the crews. She was have ability that any other aircraft cannot, and that is the 'upper weapon bay'. The upper weapon bay was necessary for carrying both that new weapon while AUBP-070 was at bottom weapon bay, and AMRAS-36/A at upper weapon bay, both weapon bay can carry 6 armament with total of 12 armament (Why they didn't use rotary launcher? I don't know man, I'm writing exactly what they said and all I do here is for that money).
Design
Stealth Technology
She's featured a flying wing design, which mean it has no vertical nor horizontal stabilizer, thus reducing radar cross section, S-duct inlet, fully enclosed weapon bay, the same yaw control as B-2 Spirit (Split-rudder), and the new radar absorbing material paint, but still have faceted design like the F-117.
Carrier-Based Requirement
Due to US Navy proposal, She's have arresting hook systems, catapult connector systems, and folding wings systems to have more space at the aircraft carrier
Crew compartment
The front crew was the aircraft commander and rear was mission specialist. The aircraft commander was controlling and maneuvering aircraft, from take-off to landing (why not just call him pilot? I don't know, maybe they feel offended for called pilot?). And mission specialist was controlling weapon and radar systems, and also be a navigator.
Operational History and current operational aircraft
She's employed in gulf war, Afghanistan Campaign, War On Terror, Iraq Campaign, and some sources seeing CMF-3 shaped UFO at 2022 Russo-Ukrainian war, but U.S. Goverment didn't confirm they launched CMF-3 at the war.

As 2022, 24 was delivered from 75 planned
Activation Groups :
1. Engines :
activate or deactivate all 4 engines and lamp on cockpit
2. Refueling probe :
this device used for refueling Her by aerial refueling
3. AUBP-070 :
okay, this is important. When you want to launch this bomb, you need to activate it once, ONLY ONCE, then wait for few seconds and it will drop a bomb then it will close the weapon bay automatically. You only can drop bomb one at a time and you need the weapon door to fully enclosed and you can drop the bomb again. When you already drop a bomb, that bomb You dropped will activate the lamp in mission specialist desk (painted in red color).
Don't ever try to spam AG 3 and 4
4. AMRAS-36/A :
same as AG 3. But this was colored with green instead and this was missile not bomb.
5. Wing fold :
this was used for folding her wings. She have 15.5 m wingspan with unfolded wings and 11.5 m folded (just 0.1 m shorter than Tomcat with full swept backward wing) (Will unfolded when above 15m/s
6. Arresting hook :
this was used for carrier landing so arresting cable can catch Her (will deactivated when above 50m AGL)
7. Catapult connector :
this was used for carrier take-off with catapult assisted take-off (will deactivated when above 50m AGL)
8.Landing gear :
normal landing gear except it will deactivate when the speed is higher than 100m/s and altitude higher than 50m AGL and vice versa
9. Canopy :
this AG was used for canopy door to open or close (will closed when above 15m/s
10. Ejection seat :
this used for crew escaping from danger. When this AG activated, it will detach the entire canopy and detach seats from entire aircraft and few moments later it will activate parachutes (for unknown reason crew seats was ejected and clipped into lower aircraft body, so not recommended for low altitude escape
Airbrake :
Pull brake to open airbrake
Note
• When fly this aircraft I'd recommended to Tchaikovsky's 'Marche Slave or Dvorák Ninth Symphony (especially 4th movement) playing in background
• At the thumbnail, You may see it's just only 1 type of ordnance, but it's actually 2. If You look close enough you can see that 3 outer ordnance was bigger than inner ordnance because it was the AUBP-070 and the inner was AMRAS-36/A
• I didn't put autopilot for yaw because I want you to respect more the yaw control
• Her maximun mass was 12,845kg, 8,445 kg with 100% fuel and droods, and empty mass 4,844 kg, leaving the payload mass was 4,011 kg or around 32% of payload capacity of Her maximun weight and that was 1.8 times more heavier than F-35A internal bay armament capacity
• The "SK" in the back at Her has meanings. It means "ship killer" and or "strategic killing"
• The upper bomb bay was actually inspired by Tom Alfaro's F-45 concept
• In case You don't know, the firebird was taken from slavic mythology. The firebird was a big magical bird with glowing or burning feathers and had appearance like falcon
• The 'Symphony Of The New World' was a reference to Dvorák Ninth symphony
• Thanks to Sam The Fox for giving me the tips how to make the letter is bigger
• thanks to all people for giving Me some ideas to put it to Her

The cockpit is pretty detailed for the part count nice job keeping it practical
Flies like a brick and the bottom missiles blow up before they even exit
