All new Red Arrow retrofit.
This time I decided to completely remake the plane, from fuselage length to the air intakes. now this plane has a lower drag, better maneuverability and better top speed.
Features:
-Completely redesigned nosecone
-Shortened fuselage length
-Engines and air intakes move inwards, resulting in a slightly shorter winspan too
-More Pylons!: feel free to add even more pylons or the weapons that you desire (can perfectly fly in a 5 cleaver config)
-Added Tailerons!: more maneuverability and survival chances!
-Rounded air intakes and Jet exhaust: now it looks more smoother and has lower drag.
-Reworked cockpit: changed the shape of the cockpit and its position, so now it has more visual area.
Service ceiling: up to 80k ft
max speed: Mach 1.5 at 60k ft
Landing speed: 140mph (throttle at around 15%) at 15° then reduce to 110mph when doing Touchdown.
Here we see a Red Arrow Landing after being hit by a missile

    @marcox43 I see what you mean by the narrow field of view. I do like those guns tucked on the underside. they're quite flush with the design which is hard to do sometimes.

    I can't think of any way to improve upon the incredibly realistic handling and performance of this jet. I am impressed.
