Heres another GBA aircraft, this time a recreation of the SHN Fighter from "IRIDION 2", and this time its just a normal shmup game.

Again, its not an exact replica (there would be way less fins), but the original design does lend itself significantly better to stable flight than the last SHN fighter. however, the original design had powerful weapons like flying "options", AKA those orb things that fly next to you and copy your weapons, as well as smart bombs. Ive already shoved my drones onto every viable creation I've posted here, so i wont do that here unless someone asks for it. I'm also not smart enough to make a bomb that damages all onscreen enemies, so instead i put standard weapons like cannons, machine guns, and guided missiles. Oh and an approximation of a smart bomb; just press Gear 1 and hope you hit something (you probably wont, id switch it out for regular bombs or leave it empty.)

Keep in mind that fuel will drain fast; it doesn't have much fuel to begin with and the multiple engines suck fuel quickly.
