D-7 Desert Dragon

462 Flyer24  4.3 years ago

Inspired by the SAAB Draken, this aircraft was originally intended to be a fast, badly maneuverable ground attacker/torpedo bomber. However it was so bad without proper horizontal stabilizers that I had to add them separately. This somehow made it one of my bestly maneuverable fighters of all, however the default payload setup and fuel amount might not be ideal for long air-to-air engagements.

Controls:
AG1 - Hook
AG7 - Catapult seat
AG6 - Pilot's parachute

Flight Specifics:
Max Speed (at a horizontal flight near sea level): 1510 km/h = 930 MPH
Stall Speed: 230 km/h = 140 MPH
