Introduction
With the introduction of the A4 Sjyhawk the Americans had a small fast airframe capable of carrying out a number of roles and complementing the larger aircraft also carried by the associated aircraft carriers (F14 etc). It was decided that the Royal Navy could benefit from such an aircraft so the Skyfalcon was developed.

@RamboJutter you are criminally underrated, it's quite sad
@edensk 22 upvotes lol, never mind see what the next one brings .
@edensk cool ill have a look through this hopefully tomorrow. Thanks
One last thing, the flaps don't seem to do anything, you could put the wing parts on a rotator set to 5 degrees to make them increase lift at less AoA
the ability to jettison the rocket pods would be nice, specially if having them increased drag
this thing goes mach 2.5+ at 35000 ft and accelerates through mach at 90 degrees, really needs less powerful engines
(btw, I'm just pointing out the bad stuff, the jet is amazing so far!)
fuel consumption should be more than doubled when using afterburner, right now it's slightly less than 1.5 times more
I'd reduce the thrust of the entire engine by a bit, it accelerates too quickly when fully loaded
seondly, the front part of the lower pylon of both 3 pylon racks is rotated (thus asymmetrical
Just loaded it up, first thing I noticed is that you didn't use smooth, it shouldn't take more than half an hour and will greatly improve the looks
@edensk tell me about it... forum link here, going to have to finish some off lol.
sure! That's a lot of builds lol
@edensk do you want to cast your eye over this then? (I have 4 builds on unlisted ready to go... ) I also have another 10 or so nearly done, i just accumulate builds at present, i get them nearly there and then have a finishing splurge =)
