Sorry, guys, I found a flaw. The front landing gear won't go up, I'm still looking into this, so maybe a fixed version soon.
Credit to thealban's Pogo for giving me the inspiration to create this.
As usual, some fictional history:
The Heinkel He P.1080 was designed in 1964 to meet the need of a heavy strike aircraft that could be easily stored. The Heinkel team assigned to the project came up with this, the P.1080 "Interceptor". Seating a crew of two and able to reach speeds over 3,000 miles per hour, the Interceptor could outrun any existing aircraft. It could be fitted with multiple loadouts, but the one here has the standard loadout of two drop tanks, four ATG missiles, four rocket pods, four 500 pound bombs, and two 250 pound bombs. It also was equipped with a single 0.50 caliber machine gun on the left-hand side of the aircraft. Keep reading below for instructions/controls. Enjoy!
Controls:
-AcG:6+ VTOL up for landing gear
-AcG:7+VTOL to fold the wings

@DestinyAviation And any computer that is designed to identify the type of aircraft trying to identify those interceptors recognizes them as nuclear bombers. And that's where the enemies make a huge mistake. The escort fighters (the interceptors) make the nuclear-carrying force seem twice the size, and easier to intercept, and they go for the escort craft first, because those are faster, and every fighter the enemy sends has a 94.5% chance of being destroyed. And the bombers are likely to be intact.
That's actually a very smart idea @AlphaOneIndustries
I've got my own interceptor, which flies at supersonic speeds (so far, the highest I've gotten to is around 850 mph around 10,000-15,000 ft). It's slower than than this, but that is because it's designed to look like a bomber, so as to distract incoming enemies to prevent them from destroying the actual nuclear-carrying bombers.
Righteo then, that makes more sense. Thanks for the info @DestinyAviation.
No, you're right, I did use a modded fuel tank and fuselage parts. I thought that the normal parts weren't the right size in my mind for this. @RedFalcon
@DestinyAviation, huh. It just has a massive amount of fuel and the dimensions on the fuselage normally can't be made on IOS. I was wondering how you did that. That being said I'm new to this so there is definitely a lot for me to learn.
Used LOTS of subassemblies and creativity (which is a very easy-to-find commodity on this site) @RedFalcon
How did you make this on IOS?
Wow, looks interesting. Definitely has that 1960's look. :)
No problem man, continue like that and you will get platinum !!!
Thanks @GrimMantis!
Thanks @bjac0!
Thanks @Goblix & @ccooper for your support!
Very cool, good job
