The AI Enemy appears to be a mix of the A-4 Skyhawk and F3D Skynight or F6 Missiler.It is a single seat, single engine aircraft featuring near 100% delta flight surfaces that are relatively large, giving the appearance of a late 50s or early 60s Naval Attack aircraft. It is armed with four hardpoints carrying air to air missiles. It has a single afterburning turbofan engine, but because of it's period appearence this has been changed to a much less powerful turbojet engine without an afterburner.

an innovation i figured out while building this plane is the use of functioning leading edge slats. I really wanted to include that detail and make it actually work to improve aircraft performance at low speed. however just using a wing like on the stock wasp doesn't work because of control surface lift inversion behind the center of gravity. so to do this, i hid a smaller wing that deflects in the opposit direction under the extending slat.

Curiously, The AI Enemy Jet's design is based on the Kicking fish, a much more modern looking aircraft.
