Hello. Today, I am here to announce the arising of a new need: the militia of every country needs a new plane. Each of the countries desperately require another Joint Strike Fighter to fight with them, however, no plane companies are volunteering to help. This is where you come in. You have to build a plane for your country. The plane must not be another plane you have already posted. I know this sounds a lot like ElijeTheGeat's challenge, but it isn't. This one has some rules. Here they are. (RULE 1) The plane must have a modern of futuristic looks. No crazy colours or steam punk ships. (RULE 2) The plane cannot be posted without this as its successor. If it is, I will not try to find it. (RULE 3) The plane cannot include detachable engines, fuel tanks, etcetera. (External parts) So, are you up to the challenge? I know I am doing alot of talking but here is the final part. You must choose your country or the world (or Mars). For example, Meridian Bay, Mars, or United States. Please place which country inside of the title or description. Also, each plane will get a five-star rating, unless it is horrible. Then it will not get any rating at all. (If you could, please help spread the word about this challenge. Also, how do you edit the description?) Finally, Extra Credit is as follows. (VTOL +10) (WEAPONS +5) (Take off from the USS Tiny +5) (Easy to land +5) Pitch and yaw are a necessary. So is roll. Have fun, ~Epyx. (XWING is in the challenge. View his X something JSF.

    I don't think that you have to change anything. I would just prefer it would be a new plane. Thats really all. @Stingray

    Observation: I've postponed creating true vertical & takeoff for the moment, it takes more time & skill to fly it. Aircraft that must be air launched is a new trend, so why bother with the VTOL rating when it's ignored in most ratings? Just wondering if I should build anything that meets your guidelines (already accomplished) so what's new here?
