Warbird - 2S Blackjade
Night dance
Design
Warbird Blackjade is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather fifth-generation tactical jet fighter developed by WarbirdCorp. The fighter is designed to fulfill the military doctrine of "fighter killer" with the main mission in air combat: be the intruder or kill the intruder. Because of that, BlackJade is capable of supercruise, great nose authority, and low observable.
It's one of the most maneuverable aircraft in the DAA reserve.

@DwiAngkasaAeronautics No problem, it's respectable that you want to improve and you've clearly got talent
@F104Deathtrap nice thanks for the feedbacks
I'll start off with what I like about this plane. First, the detail: this plane has great detail, all the panel hatches, plate seams, and other little bits really make it look more believable. The custom exhaust nozzles and afterburner look awesome. You clearly designed it to fit a certain kind of role and it fits well. I like the overall proportions of the wings, find and fuselage, everything looks to be the right size and the right place there. You made 3D wings, which immediately sets this plane apart from most builds on here. Overall this is a good job!
What can you improve? Wings. Modern jets don't have elliptical wings, use straight or bent leading and trailing edges. Landing gear. Tricycle landing gear works differently than what most people think. You dont have wheels in the front and wheels in the back like a ground vehicle. Instead, you have main wheels that carry the weight of the plane, and nose wheels that are basically just there to keep the nose up (and maybe steer). The main wheels go just a tiny bit behind the center of mass (red ball), this allows the plane to do a wheelie on takeoff (called "rotation") that greatly increases lift, the only plane I know of that does not do this is the B-52. So put the main wheels just a tiny bit behind and under the red ball, and keep the red ball between the main wings. Also, learn how to make custom landing gear.
