LCAS - Light Close Air Support Aircraft

3,990 ENG1Fail  4.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on ENG1Fail's Carrier Training Aircraft with ejections seats

Fast and agile jet for light close air support. It features two fully functional ejection seats, functional flaps and a carrier hook. Its 2 fully controlable GBUs, 4 Hellfire missiles and 2 rocket pots make it well suited for anti-ground missions e.g. against the convoi, the bridges or the ice base. Furthermore it features 2 AIM-9s for self defence.

Controls:
1: Carrier Hook
2: Ejection seats
7: Autopilot (to keep aircraft in the air while controling GBUs)
4,5: GBUs
VTOL down: Flaps down

Cameras:
1,2: GBUs
3: Ejection Seat

The aircraft is loosely based on the French/German Alpha Jet and the Italian/Russian YAK-130/Aermacchi 346. Fell free to modify it and let me know if you have any ideas how to change/improve the design!
