7th of 10 phase release of the Planespotting Challenge!, just three more planes to go and the challenge will officially close!

Absolute challenge of an aircraft to build! For one, there are no references for an Atlant-Soyuz Livery applied for a Boeing 2707-200 orthographic, secondly some orthographics are distorted or lacking explicit information such as that of wing thickness, and lastly, to make it perform realistic and yet fun.

Too much new stuff were incorporated in this project, most notably are the swing wings. It actually waits for the flaps to tuck in before swinging! By using the smooth function, I could delay the swing mechanism to allow the flaps to tuck in.

Now no one is stopping you from swinging the wing in subsonic, but in doing so makes the aircraft inherently much much unstable below speeds of 1000km/h, takeoffs and landings would be operated at much faster speeds. So I implore you to only retract the wings when travelling above 1000km/h. But hey again, no one is stopping you like no one stopped Dan Cooper from jumping off the rear air stairs.

A third round of my experiment. As we all know; Atlant-Soyuz never operated SSTs let alone the Boeing 2707-200, so I'm rather curious how this community in particular would react to this.
