@CloverAerospaceDivision That’s what I meant for it. Being that the A-10C has a comparatively slow top speed compared to most other USAF aircraft, this would probably be used to refuel helicopters like the MH-47 Chinook
Could you make the F-15U concept? it was a really interesting, proposed F-15 variant with a new wing that could be switched out, like in this forum: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/mcdonnell-douglas-f-15-projects.2/
Will there be enhanced cockpit construction options added, like HUDs and Electronic screens? I also would like to see Electronic Warfare options added too.
Cool bug fact’s:
-The A-10 was originally built to be expendable cannon fodder; if a non-nuclear war went on with the Soviet Union, all examples were expected to be shot down in the first two weeks.
-The A-10A has almost no targeting devices, forcing pilots to use binoculars while moving at 300 miles per hour at several thousand feet.
-The aircraft was extremely outdated before it went into service
-Conversion to A-10C configuration costs more than that to build a brand new F-35, that or an attack helicopter can fill the job at a fraction of the cost.
-The GAU-8/A is inaccurate, inefficient, and has trouble piercing even 1960s tanks.
-Has the highest number of friendly fire incidents of any aircraft in history.
-Had the lowest kill count of any strike aircraft during Desert Storm, and 90% of kills were from the AGM-65 Maverick
- Its creators are a bunch of borderline traitors called the “Reformers”, who reject modern aircraft technology and want aircraft to stay gunfighters forever. They use this aircraft as proof of their ideology, and have said so on many hostile states’ media.
There’s something oddly beautiful about brutalist architecture. Is it the Dystopian callbacks, the simple, yet compelling design, or the symbolism of progress into a future lost by the winds of change?
Fun fact: Even known the project was closed, The research from this aircraft has impacted the aerospace industry, it’s composition and avionics led to several NATO aircraft, including the F-16E/F and the Dassault Rafale. The Soviet Union/Russian Federation created their own version called the Su-47 Bekrut, which unfortunately was cancelled due to a lack of funding as a result of economic difficulties after Soviet Collapse. This was also the reason the Buran and other Soviet spaceplane programs were cancelled 😞
Fun fact: The Tu-144 beat the Concorde into production by a few months. However, after a few fatal crashes, the aircraft was rarely carrying passengers. One specific airplane was used to train Soviet Cosmonauts for the Buran (Snowstorm), the Soviet equivalent to the Space Shuttle. It was also used by NASA for a supersonic research program in the last few years of its life. The surviving examples are either in display in the CIS and Germany or in storage in undisclosed locations.
It’s surprising to see you making non-Soviet/CIS aircraft, but it’s a really good job! Do you take requests? If you do, I’d really like if you could make the Ye-155 (MiG-25 Bizjet concept (Unbuilt)). If not, that’s okay.
Dear An-225,
We miss your power. Every day, you showed the world that it’s a commie sky and uncle Sam’s asleep. You carried the heavy burden of space flight on your shoulders. You carried cargo to the ends of the earth. Ye appreciate your service, and we miss you so much. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Fun fact: the MiG-25 had a top speed of Mach 3.8, but when it reached those speeds for prolonged time it would damage the engines, so it was held back to Mach 3.2 until active interception. It was also originally built to intercept the cancelled B-70 Valkyrie, but got a new lease on life with the creation of the SR-71 Blackbird. It was exported to a few Arab nations, where it helped reconnaissance operations on Israeli military operations, perfectly immune to interception by Israeli F-4s. It has been replaced by the MiG-31 “Foxhound”, which was originally a variant of the Foxbat. It still serves with the Syrian military to this day, but even there its days are numbered, as they are looking for a replacement for the aging aircraft. The reason it has large wings is because the aircraft is aerodynamically a flying brick, without the lifting body found in most fighters. The United States mistook it as a highly maneuverable aircraft, which led to the F-15, which was the most capable fighter in the US arsenal until the arrival of
The F-22.
@WisconsinStatePolice my theory is that the instructor controls from a set command point and can take control any time for beginners, but after introductory training they use it for proficiency training.
Close enough, welcome back XF-84H
@ZealousKestrel if that’s true, then how do we have tides, because tides can only be created by a large close-proximity object like the moon?

@SibHKM y'know, it would theoretically be safer if you had a system in which the engine detaches when the pilot ejects, like in the He-162.

+1@VigilantEyes Thank You!
+1On June 6th, 1995, Belka bit into the Crazy Hamburger.
+1@TheAvgeekNextDoor Yes, they did.
+1That is absolutely cursed and I love it.
+1low rider
This is awesome! anyway, how did you make that squadron logo? I want to make my own, but I am not as skilled as you.
Fun fact: Bede was also the maker of the BD-1, the world’s smallest jet aircraft. The BD-1 was actually featured in a James Bond movie too.
+1Could you do the Lockheed CL-1309-21? Like in https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=53950.0 ?
+1Could you make a version with a full face mask? I have trouble breathing through my nose.
Mark this with tags so more people see it, this is amazing!

Release him…

+6@PlayboiCartiOfficial That’s fine, that’s also when I get off from vacation.
+1Do you take requests? If you do, could you please make the NATF-23 Black Widow II (the navalized YF-23 concept)
+1@C47skytrain I think that’s what it was based on

+1@jansen574 Thanks!
@STALIN83 Thanks bud! This is one of my favorite aircraft btw
+1Looks like something out of Highfleet
You mind if I modify this a little and make it as part of a series of planes in my alternate universe? I’ll credit you for it by the way :)
@PlaneSpike no I did not know that, thanks
+1(Looks like the satanic rituals are working finally (/j))
+1Great work! Keep it up!
Literally a fiat with a Benelli on it. Funniest thing I’ve seen today so far.
@STALIN83 Thanks buddy!

MiG-21 at home
+1@Mitterbin how can I join? Just curious.
+1@Mitterbin just a quick question, what year is it currently in KE?
