FFA P-16

The Wiki:

The FFA P-16 was a Swiss prototype ground attack jet fighter designed in the 1950s by Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein to replace the piston-engined types then in service with the Swiss Air Force. The project was terminated in favour of the British-built Hawker Hunter before it was introduced into service.

The P-16 was Switzerland's second attempt to develop a domestically-designed and manufactured jet fighter, after the EFW N-20.

Controls and Features:

-Standard SP Flight Controls
-VTOL for Flaps
-Trim for Trim
-Ag1 to drop Bombs
-Ag2 to drop External Fuel Tanks

Takeoff:

-Half Flaps, Full Throttle. Once airborne, Retract flaps and use trim to adjust for level flight.

Landing:

-10% Throttle. Once below 200 mph, add Flaps gradually to maintain level flight. Airspeed should not dip below 150 mph before touchdown. Once on the ground, Brake will deploy Airbrake and bring you to a stop.

Features:

-2 x 30mm Cannons
-4 x Hardpoints (5K Lbs.)
-Custom Control Surfaces
-Custom Paint job
-Custom Landing Gear

As Always:

I'll be honest, I didn't know that Switzerland had ever developed its own planes. But alas, this was number two. I chose this plane as a simple platform to do some further experimenting with the control surfaces. For this plane, the ailerons function as flaps in addition to the actual flaps to assist with short take-offs. Anyway, hope you enjoy this Swiss bird. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!
