The ES-46 is an experimental created alongside the ES-46 in order to test out lighter than air materials and extreme instability.

The canards mounted on the ES-47 only have a deflection of three degrees both up and down. However, despite this, the ES-47 is one of the most agile aircraft in the pitch axis that Squirrel Industries has developed.

Due to its success, it was retrofitted with cheap engines and presented as a cheaper, short range, better armed alternative to the ES-46. Although, advancements in this area from this aircraft are to be implemented on an improved ES-46. The “thrust vectoring system” has also been modernised and has been relabelled as the “Squirrel Industries Performance Enhancer” or SIPE for short, as it increases speed as well as offering the benefits of 3D thrust vectoring systems.

Anyway, that’s it for today… Maybe… But until next time, Happy flying!

    @SteadfastContracting Oops, forgot that people can't view removed planes. Er, literally just said that because you approve it, I've removed it until they give credit. Told them to let me know when they've credited so I can approve it.

    No a deleted plane that was copied from one of mine that you mentioned me on but I never saw the comment.

    @SteadfastContracting What do you mean? I haven't been on for most of the day (just got on), I've looked for deleted comments, but there is none... Spooky XD

    Is there a point in trying to mention me on a comment of a plane you are just going to delete less than a minute later? Just saying.

    I made a engine that beats every engine problem it's a big engine and no small plane can use it I wonder if you could look at the engine and note it's all xml modded see if you can find a use for it its a great engine for big aircraft but I'm used to making small planes

    @Squirrel I like to build aircraft that have so much as the simplest cockpit possible. The roll and pitch controls work very well, but the throttle seems to be hard part. Oh well.

    @CALVIN232 I've started doing something similar. One of my recent uploads (can't remember which, but I think it was for a challenge) has air breaks positioned as you describe. I got it from the Mig-29s from when they close up their intakes to prevent FOD.
    .
    @KerlonceauxIndustries I just don't bother, I focus on the planes looks and performance, not the little details like that. Just my style of building.

    And the ** throttles in the cockpit of my nowhere-near-completion stealth bomber don't want to work. It's very hard to make a functional cockpit.

    It handles well btw if would like I know a cool way to place air brakes just look at my jets I've hidden them in the vent so when you brake they close the vent

    @CALVIN232 Single-handedly the most encouraging comment on the internet XD
