!warning!
this aircraft is highly unstable and prone to roll out of control due to what seems to be a compressor stall.
!please fly with caution!

the Bravo variant was modified to fit 3 AIM-9 SIDEWINDERs and 3 AIM-120 AMRAAMs and a M61A1 Vulcan Cannon but the bomb load was reduced from 12 to 6 bombs. the grey fox was designed to fly low and be agile to evade radar. Due to the unstable nature of the airframe flaps and airbrakes were not implemented into the airframe. the only control surfaces are the canards. the intake is located above the airframe behind the canopy to make space for the internal bomb bay and a S-duct to reduce its radar cross section. it took eight medium-sized engines just to get the aircraft to match 0.9,that's how heavy it is, or it's just how weak those engines are. those engines also have Differential thrust to keep the airframe form losing control.
