A large quad engine delta wing bomber with a stealthy style. Despite its large size and heavy payload, it's surprisingly maneuverable. It flies best at high speed. Enjoy :D

    I know you like Ace Combat, so I'll tell you, this plane totally reminds me of the Arkbird and the Z.O.E

    Your designs are so clean yet complex like a good poem. I try to mimic that but still haven't been able to.

    @Pauciloquent Yea I experimented with most of that. Ideally I liked the cleaner look of no canards at all, but they helped the handling so much they couldn't be avoided. as for the surface type, I found when I avoided nose up at high speed, it ended up being extremely sluggish in landing. The rear landing gear though.. thats purely aesthetic. it looked really stupid with only 2 rears with that much weight. I would have shifted them forward, closer to the CoM for a better takeoff pivot, but laziness.. lol

    I love the design great work : ) but with a few changes to some settings you can get the top speed up from 955 to 1025 at 10000ft and less nose up at high speed + slightly better pitch.... all I did was change all the wing surfaces from semi-symmetric to symmetric then change the forward top wings that control pitch to semi-symmetric and then increased pitch control surface by one step on the rear.... oh and I removed one sett of rear landing gear and turned the remaning sett around to aid takeoff... you probably know all this already but I just thought I share...

    @Halphas Thanks! When I made this I was thinking along the lines of the B2 mixed with Ace Combat's Arcbird, but I see what you mean. It has the same double engine look as the B1 from behind.

    It looks so like a mixture of B-1B and the B-2A! Anyway, it's awesome!
