The Republic XF-84H "Thunderscreech" was an experimental turboprop aircraft derived from the F-84F Thunderstreak. Powered by a turbine engine that was mated to a supersonic propeller, the XF-84H had the potential of setting the unofficial air speed record for propeller-driven aircraft, but was unable to overcome aerodynamic deficiencies and engine reliability problems, resulting in the program's cancellation. The build is as close as I could get to the original prototype... but it doesn't nearly make as much noise I'm afraid. Still, should be good for a few laughs. Enjoy!

Not real enough, my speakers didn’t blow up
yes, one of my favorite experimental planes is a LOUD BOI
@JustDragon it is really good, an dthe thunderscreech is one of my favorite planes.
@50CalChicken
See how good this one is?
Ohh ok @SimplyPlain
@Hedero nope... drawings of the Thunderstreak, combined with photos.
I've really been wanting to build this but I can't find any proper blueprints for it. Did you manage to find a decent one?
This thing is so beautiful, nice work!
This is a little known and little built subject...and a pretty good job. It looks good and though you could have used inlets for your control surfaces, you’ve incorporated a very accurate shape and appropriate detail. The flight model isn’t half bad, either. I’ve noticed there are many, many great looking builds that fly horribly and this one flies decently well. It accelerates not inappropriately, though it turns a bit too well, but one doesn’t have to pull back all the way to turn. My biggest gripe is that the flap controls are reversed. Also, don’t forget to credit thealban for the markings. Nice.
This thing made people vomit because of how loud it was.
Really cool
@MintLynx Thank you. Still, a pity about the (absence of) noise though, the 'screech's trademark.
I do believe this is the best thunderscreech on the site.
Immaculate livery and details, smooth and agile in flight.
Lol, Its been 4 hours since you post it and no one upvote it
