A-43 Hunchback

! Fixed Version !

Big thanks to

@edensk for the flight model
and @CrazyCatZe for the help with the paint (without him it would have been Black/Purple) and here is a great plane by him the XF-20-s-P-s

This is the A-43 Hunchback it was proposed as a replacement for the A-10 Warthog. The Army didn't need it, but the Royal NAVY did. So with some changes (Arrestinghook, Folding wings, etc.), it was sold to them. It has an automatic nosewheel steering lock (the nose wheel can't pivot all the way above 32 km/h), automatic flaps (1st stage 300-350km/h, 2nd stage 250-300km/h, 3rd stage <250km/h) and a similar boundary layer control- system to the F-104 (it blows extra air from the engine over the Flaps)

It has an IFR probe (In-Flight Refueling Probe)

It has Towed Radar Decoys like the Eurofighter Typhoon

Wikipedia

It has three missile types:

The MBDA Meteor (A Long Range Radar guided Air to Air missile)

Wikipedia

The SPEAR 3 (A Air to surface missile)

Wikipedia

The Storm Shadow (A Long-range Air to surface missile)
(I accidentally oversized this one)

Wikipedia

It also has 4 50mm and two 100 mm canons

Controls:

Landing gear, Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Trim -> Standard

AG 1 arresting hook
AG 2 activate SPEAR 3
AG 3 activate Storm Shadow
AG 4 activate MBDA Meteor
AG 5 extend Towed Decoys
AG 6 extend IFR Probe
AG 7 activate thrust reverse
AG 8 on activate automatic flaps + BLC (boundary layer control)
AG 8 off Fold wings (below 36 km/h and below 4m AGL)

    @Mustang51 that's an Idea (I'm actually working on a Fighter)

    @Judmaierm fair enough. Maybe a replacement for the typhoon would be cool to see too

    @Mustang51 at the moment I'm not planning on building one but there are still a few weapons I have to build so I might change my mind some day

    The plane itself looks pretty cool but those missiles are awesome! The meteor especially looks great. Wonderful job!
