@Rb2h It's a concept design. I built it simple before going on full scale building to see if I like it, or I should change any particular concepts. I am currently building a more detailed design of it, and there have been many changes done so far... Just gathering input..
@OkaNieba Thanks for the input. I tried giving it a single engine but I didn't like the layout of it. Perhaps you'd like to share a redesign of it? I'd be more than happy to try it out!
@Stephengraffam221022222
Longer than it should have haha xD.
It's mostly a copy and paste thing, but it kept exploding everytime the plane spawned. But once i found the best height and right positioning, it worked :)
@hpgbproductions I would take your original design from the drawing you made and rebuild it from there; extend the Gear bays to act as sea floats and fold the wings, to design a Car - Sea - Plane trio design
@Ded The closest that ever got to their requirements was the F-16 at the beginning of the testing phase, as it was a literal flying acrobat, and was very lightly packed. It was later added with the necessary components to reach the requirements of the USAF. The Fighter Mafia considered it to be the closest to a successful design, despite the compromise of the additions.
From a U.S. perspective, I think the F-20 Tigershark would have been a close competitor though as it would have reduced engine maintenance costs in comparison to the F-5 Tiger... But that's a personal hunch.
@TheSonOfThunder There is no limit to engines, however keep in mind that one of the fighter mafia principles is that the plane must be cheap to mass produce.
Seems to be sorted now
Thanks @WNP78 for your reply :)
My anti-virus went crazy for a moment when I launched the Beta, But works fine for now...
@Rb2h bingo - uploading the 2nd prototype soon. Will tag you if you wish

@Rb2h I agree, currently working on a rework. Any suggestions on how you would fix it?

Pls credit the original nose area
Great work! Built this multiple times myself, it's a pretty cool project!
Wish to see more 747 with these parasite fighters though...
Very well done! I tried my luck with this before but I didn't complete it
Totally not a J-8 II finback xD
Jokes aside, great build :)

Gorgeous design!!! Keep up the good work!
It reminds me a bit of the concepts of a flying car, particularly this design of an amphibious flying car
Would you allow me to rebuild this?
@IAmMeObviously They're inside the body parts that make the stabalizers. Non-the-less, you're gonna need to build that from scratch...
Good job and well thought out proof-of-concept! I have noted and scored your submission. I will release the score when the deadline has passed.
Very interesting design! Even though I couldn't get it to VTOL properly...
I hope to see this refined in your future builds! :)
RULES UPDATED 17-FEB-2023
Change in a few rules
Change in scoring system
Change in rewards
Is this your submission for This challenge ?
Because I was not tagged for it...
@Geekpride Yes, however if you both your entries finish in the top 3, you will be rewarded as per the highest scored aircraft.

@teddyone02 It's a hybrid of a F-32 main body / F-16 cockipit and engine and Eurofighter typhoon wings
@Australianbulider676 What do you mean?
Some details of this plane need to be fixed, but because it is curated, I'm unable to.
@SPairforce glad you liked it! Was originally inspired by this kitmashed model
@FirstFish83828 F-32 main fuselage, F-16 nose and engine and Eurofighter wings
@FirstFish83828 ok, my submission is in! Thanks!
Gorgeous build of the Folland gnat! Keep up the good work! Much cleaner than my version
Really deserved a Charlie Sheen mode though xD
@Baconaircraft or @Vincent , pls make this plane a successor to the Hybrid Aircraft challenge , Forgot to do it >.<
Meh, forgot to make my submission as a successor...
Who's the mod to call for this?
To everyone intending to compete, I strongly recommend checking out Flikr user Dizzyfugu's creations, particularly the Whif / What-if albums.
Am I allowed to mix more than 2 planes in my creation?
@sidewinder21 Camp Lemonnier
very good work!
Amazing job!! We need more of these remakes!!
@ollielebananiaCFSP Ok, sadly I'm out
@ollielebananiaCFSP aaah ok, thanks for the clarity.
Can I make my own design, or must it be a replica?
Rule 2 and 8 conflict eachother...might join this... got one plane soon finished...
Fantastic job! Very pleasant to fly!
This plane has since been upgraded.
there is no mig design similar to this, but reminds me of my own mig design
@Rjenteissussy originally intended to be a mig-29ub with delta wing... basically this
Reminds me of my own B-52 ! Good job! keep up the good work!
Fantastic job! This would be amazing start off point for a 747AAC (airborne aircraft carrier)!!
@asteroidbook345 I read in some places that this design had indeed inspired the Sukhoi t-10.
But I can't clarify the claim...
@OrionIndustries Sort of... This was a one-off build. It's incomplete coz I got bored trying to build it
@A6MZero as you wish. Credit and tag on release though.
This plane has starred in This video
May I build a remake of this plane?
@DJRianGamerUwU you can, nothing's stopping you...
