  • Top Speed: ~750+ mph
  • Max Altitude: ~40000-45000 ft
  • Minimum range: 450 mi (100% throttle, fully loaded)

Notes

  • I have no idea how to make the HUDs "STALL WARNING" alert go away. I tried messing with the FT code to try and make it go away or at least happen later, and I somehow managed to break the HUD.

  • This is probably my best aircraft to date, and I'm pretty proud of how it came out.

  • If you're going into a dogfight, I would ditch the fuel tanks and the Boom 50s. I also wouldn't pull high alpha maneuvers with more than -50% trim


I have been working on this plane for quite a while now (it's gone through a crazy amount of changes as I've learned more about how to build better in the game), so I hope you enjoy it.

I'm going to continue working on aircraft I have (one which is mostly done, I'll have to post an update about it at some point), and possibly try making some new types of aircraft.

Happy flying!
