                                                               ~HISTORY~

The GSA (Green Sea Alliance) “Beagle” is a new supersonic stealth recon/deep strike aircraft developed by dozens of companies from countries in the GSA.
It is said to have a top speed exceeding mach 3, and will have a payload of up to 4 missiles, making it a serious threat to anyone who opposes the alliance.

So far, only a few prototypes have been built, but the design is rather simple for what it is, so many more shall probably be built.

One of it’s most unique features is its retractable canard.
This wing, mounted in front of the main wing, is almost entirely a control surface, and it allows the aircraft to have more maneuverability and a shorter takeoff space, while being able to easily retract into the fuselage when flying at high speeds, reducing drag.

                                                    ~OWNERS MANUAL~

Weapons. Always weapons.

This jet carries 4 QRE-90 missiles which can be effectively used against both air, ground, and sea targets.

In addition, it also has a minigun mounted in the nose, which can be used in dogfights to shred enemy planes.

Now, the retractable canard is rather easy to use, just follow these instructions:

It is controllable via the VTOL slider, so just remember that
Make sure to have it fully extended (the slider should be in the middle) for takeoff and landing, in addition to low speed flight, or if you have to do high G maneuvers.
If you are going very fast, it can be a good idea to retract it because A. it looks cooler, and B. it can make it more stable and easier to control

If you follow these tips you should be good to go!

Also this plane is entered in this challenge,

So @willthagoat1111 I hope this entry counts

That’s all!

    @Willthagoat1111 Canards are wings. You didn't say that the MAIN wing had to be sweepable

    @SleepyKitty OK ummm this is hard to decide cause the canards sweep but not the wings.

    Hypersonic is 3,800 mph and your craft does not go at speeds that high so it is not hypersonic
