Top Speed: High 600's

Changes: The Mark 4 Jet Model is 12.5 Tons lighter, as nearly all the onboard fuel has been swapped for a fuel cheat. Wing thickness has been increased to handle the increase stresses at high speeds. The Control surfaces have been altered for better high speed handling and stable autopilot cruising, necessitating the addition of the HMLS Ailerons to improve control during low speed maneuvers. The Armaments have been moved, and reduced slightly for better balance and to prevent munitions collision. The Pontoon Airbrakes have been changed to Landing/Water Brakes, and new larger airbrakes have been added on the top wing surface. Additional air intakes have been added, and the Dual Counter-Rotating Prop Engine has been swapped for a size-reduced, power increased Jet Engine.
