SU-40 Undying Flanker

7,839 0ut16w  1.2 years ago

Made by the Russian Sukhoi design bureau in 2050.
After NATO introduced its next generation fighter jet, Russia was left distraught as it had not anticipated this sudden leapfrog in technology.
Low on money, Russia needed a new fighter design, and quick.

The Sukhoi engineers and designers dug up decades old blueprints trying to find any slight advantage they could use against the west.
But these were no ordinary blueprints. They were of the "Flanker" fighter jet family.

"The best fighter jet in the world"
The Undying Flanker

And Sukhoi rose to the challenge.

Ag1: aoa limiter
Ag2: fold wings
Ag3: particle cannons
Ag4: arm missile bay
Ag7: landing hook
VTOL up: flaps
VTOL down: (feature not yet implemented)

The fuel tank is located at the bottom of the fusalage, it is marked by a red square. It is set to infinite at default, feel free to change.
throttle<90% activates a brake whenever you pitch up, this is to help with the cobra maneuver.

this is my first time making custom landing gears, so they suck.
feel free to add/remove any armaments
this project is also technically unfinished

    @0ut16w
    2050 USA plane: F-35 with nut-targeting missile systems.
    Avoids friendly fire since NATO crew don't have any (inclusive).
    Doesn't work on russian federation aircraft because the crew doesn't have any (cowards).

    @Graingy we’ll have to see…
    I am planning to make a collection of 2050 original aircraft from multiple countries, so i will continue the lore later

    So... Russia returned to ancient designs in an attempt to match modern NATO equipment...
    26 years to learn some open-mindedness, so I'm asking...
    Did it work? Don't wanna assume, but, y'know...

    @Shinjurai I have many work in progress planes and the cfa is already one of them!
    I'm not sure in which order I'm gonna publish them but it will be done!
    Also it is going to be VERY difficult to top some of the best cfa-44s' on this site

    I have bad news:
    The landing gear likes to break when using the catapult from the uss beast
    even though Sukhois use jump ramps I'll see what I can do
