A new unique plane from me. Again with crazy landing gears... i shouldn't abuse like that fr.
Anyways. The history is based on IRL but the history of the Jet is fully fictional. Only true part is that germans and americans passed through swiss airspace. The remaining parts are fictional, so is swiss spy forces and engineering here.

Under developpement since november 1943, 7 months after a Me-262 prototype fell in the country. Thinking Swizerland would return the aircraft entirly a few days later, the pilot landed the aircraft safely in Baden after communicating with the Swiss Tower control for an emergency landing on a road.

Having a Me-262 in their land and the engines already ready and the flight manual entire, they returned the pilot and told them that they were confiscating the jet as a punishment. It was not the first time Germany had broken through the Swiss airspace. And Swizerland knows it won't be the last.

As a result of this incident, an ambitious and intelligent engineer got to study and modify the engine, going from 8,8kN power to 10,7kN three months later. Spies were also sent in german's Heinkel and Messerschmitt compagnies to get more datas, finding what were wrong and what to improve in the engines.

Five months later, the Swiss group Pilatus got to create a new jet, working on the same principe of the first with even more improvment, reaching a 14,5kN power Engine Named SJ-0103, "Pilatus Swiss-Jet Number one, Version 3"

By the time, General Corp and Pilatus officially signed a cooperational developpement. Pilatus had to make the engine, which was done amasingly quickly for a recent compagny (the Helvetia J-7B), and General Corp had to work on a plane that would be able to use it. February 1944, swizerland got to the start their prototypes, from A version, to D in june of this same year.

The E version got to be operational the august 1944, with a 680kph top speed at 8200m, ceiling at 10 000m.

It intercepted from the first flight to the end of the war:
- 5 bf-109 G-14
- 7 Me-111
- 2 Ju-288
- 2 P-51D Mustang
- 1 B-17 flying fortress
- 1 P-47
- 1 Me-262

Only 44 were producted in the meantime.

In the end, 65 were produced, retired from service in 1963.

Take off configuration and problems:
- 40° flaps (two third of the flaps)
- Trim fully pitching
Then you are good to go.
For the problems:
- on loading, you will suffer a fall on the tail because of the front gear being too tall. To place the plane on all his gears:
- either pull throttle reach 5 kph/3mph and brake, or use AG7
- on take off, the plane turn slightly either left or right, but it is easy to counter.

Wish you enjoy!
