This is my first modern and fictional plane. Have fun.

Le backstory
The newly formed nation of New Wright plans to strengthen its air force and borrowed some jet engines from the Autonomous Yeager Region which has recently expanded its industry by capturing a factory and airbase in the nearby Snowstone Island. With this, the WAM (Wright Aviation Ministry) authorized the creation of a military fighter to defend from attack. The result of more than 8 months of planning is the JC-10 Sailfish. It is still in the experimental stage but it might enter service soon. It has a strange gear arrangement since the sige gear tilts backwards like the British Harrier. It has been involved with the launch of a test cruise missile made for destroying carriers and might possibly have a nuclear warhead attached.
