TN #01, Arsean Air Force

MRF Modernization Program

Lore:
The Atlantine Parliament decided that it will be a good idea to upgrade the Cyclone from 4th generation to a full fledged 4+ gen multirole fighter, with extended range and air to air refueling capability. The aircraft is also available for export to close allies, such as Arsea.

Equipped with a conformal fuel tank as a standard, the Block 20 modification of the Cyclone clears up space for two hardpoints that would otherwise be occupied by a huge drop tank. The airframe also featured a minor redesign: a thicker wing root to conform with Whitcomb's area rule, reducing drag and increasing top speed to Mach 1.4. The most remarkable upgrade is a more stable flight computer, which is now stable at higher speeds.

Special Thanks To:

-@GuyFolk, for redoing some aspects of the PID codes in this aircraft. Thanks!

-@Bernkastel, @JS01 and @UnguidedCylinder for testing

Controls:

AG1- Drag brake
Trim - Trim

Specifications:

Powerplant:

General Electric F110-GE-129, 16,610 lbf dry, 29,000 lbf full

Fuel Capacity:

907 gallons with CFT

Significant Speeds

V-Rotate: 140 KIAS
V-2: 170 KIAS (yes you're guaranteed a tailstrike)
Top speed (level): Mach 1.36 (760 KIAS)

Builder's Note: idk how it behaves in different PCs as the FT code reacts differently on different framerates. Feedback is appreciated. Also, yes I uploaded this because it's beta time!

Happy Flying!
