Alternative history
What if during WW2, the French could hold on for longer?
Long enough to start to produce a desperate project of a jet fighter…?
With that question, I present the D.5200 Emergency Jet Fighter.
A single-engine early jet fighter with not-so-amazing qualities.
The Idea:
One of my favorite airplane designs of all time is the HE-162 Volksjäger. It's simple, it's unremarkable, but it's quite elegant and intelligent for the role that it was supposed to take.
The very concept of "emergency fighter" is quite fascinating to me, a crude fighter with just enough juice to face a much more powerful enemy (I guess everyone likes the underdog story).
And for some reason this fascination ends up making me literally dream about this thing, a French single-engine jet fighter with a belly-mounted engine.
And after some iterations in the style (in my dream the thing has a F.222 look to it), I came up with this.
I pretend to make a few more alternative history emergency jet fighters for other nations in the future; I just really love the concept.

@Hahahahaahahshs
just 9 months
Thats such a cool idea, i'm gonna create a fictional plane by this idea (dont worry i will credit you)
@DogedogebreadWithAnAK47 thank you but it’s been so long
@Hahahahaahahshs
congrats on platinum
Why does this look like it should’ve been posted 5 years ago?
Nice plane though
@DogedogebreadWithAnAK47 no way
As a man who has made hundreds of french designs, this one is worthy of a baguette
