I went to an airshow and was VERY impressed with the navy F-22A Raptor. I was inspired by it's modern looks, and set about making my own fifth generation fighter. My A-12 is maneuverable, (but lacks VTOL balancing like my other planes, save maybe pressing "5" and adjusting the VTOL SLIGHTLY). The bomb bay opens by activating "6" and pulling VTOL all the way down, and "1" releases the internal warhead. I decided against adding pylons, as wing mounted systems negatively affect stealth. I love the idea of fifth-generation fighters, and REALLY wish simpleplanes could somehow integrate electronics, stealth, and radar into the game, because without these systems, an F-35 or F-22 is no better than an F-16 or the likes. If you enjoy my plane, please give a thumbs up!! Thanks!!
