Name: JH-9B Featherwhip
Type: Personal Concept
Attempt #: 2
Falkenwut Generation Build: 5
A more realistic edition of my featherwhip design. Not particularly happy with this result because the plane design would need a larger fuselage and wing structure to be realistic given the weight specifications of the Shenyang WS-10 engine. And with the swing-wing design, the whole plane would weight very heavy for very little payload... Not a very realistic design... Non-the-less, this is a fun design to fly!
Enjoy! please let me know what you think!

@ToeTips It's basically a Flanker with a canard & swing-wing combination.
Moving the swing-wing helps with stabilitiy depending on the application. Not particularly happy with this one to be honest. Might consider remaking or revamping it in the future.. Got other projects ongoing right now...
Hmm its in desperate need of a fly-by-wire. If it has that then it will be complete. But still great plane for the part count, you should submit it into WinsWings 96 part challenge.
So...
Berkut+Tomcat+Fulcrum/Flanker+Eurofighter+Rafale?
