I've recently made a sixth generation air superiority fighter that focuses more on functionality than looks, it has a moderately low part count near the minimum allowed, flies gorgeously well under AI control, and it's also fully unmanned.
However, i feel that its maneuverability and speed are a bit too high, and the fact that it is tailless means that its a bit unstable in its yaw axis (a characteristic that i purposefully added) yet its easy to control and oddly forgiving in a spin.
The fighter is a fictional 2070s double tandem canard design inspired by the YF-23 and the F/A-XX concept, as such, the weapons it's currently equipped with are likely far more enhanced than the ones provided for this competition. I wont be able to post it for a while but i was wondering what your thoughts are based on the description above.
I also noticed that an xml edited propeller with the same disk area can actually propel the helicopter much faster than a hinged (or solid) rotor assembly.
I have a question, since i use wings to make the rotorblades of helicopters, i noticed that hinged blades droop downwards during forward flight, this tells me that despite the blades producing lift and propelling my rotorcraft forwards, they also produce a downward force that prevents it from going any faster than 140 mph. Would xml editing the rotor assembly to have reduced dragscale prevent the blades from drooping downwards when the aircraft moves forwards, or is that an aerodynamic issue distinct from drag?
The build quality is impressive and i love how well blended the fuselages are, but if this were an actual aircraft it'll be in dire need of canards. Great friggin job!!
Oh this is great, i recently made a fighter aircraft that the ai can fly insidiously well and makes for a horrendously deadly gunfighter. The best part is that it has few parts and is easy on device peeformance.
The F-22 doesnt have the classic wasp waist characteristic of area rule, but its engineers took it to consideration, the reason for my joke is because all of those bulbs remind me of anti-shock bodies.
I downloaded this craft a few days ago so that I could use its fuselage to speed up the development of a high-speed rotorcraft concept I've been working on for three weeks now and just recently completed, it reaches a top speed of 245 miles per hour at 66 percent throttle using vertical lift alone, meaning it was a success, is it okay if I upload it as a successor to this post here?
This is pretty good, I like how the missiles are stored, pretty ingenious, although having aircraft collisions disabled on them reduces their chances of striking a target. I would otherwise angle them 30° to 45° upward to allow for a safe launch.
@RamboJutter yeah sure i'll go ahead, won't be able to upload till about June 10-16th because I use Library wifi, but I'll get it done!
Are those genuine tracks?
This design is in serious need of canards. Fantastic job!!
Basically functionallity over aesthetics, i agree with you @RocCrafter101

A game within a game lmao!
Looks like an Italian design, i love it!

Forward fuselage is too narrow in my opinion when compared to the nacelles, nice job though.
I friggin cracked up lmao!!
Have blue and hopeless diamond, anyone?
Fantastic job, dude!!
Gorgeous model

This looks pretty good.
Shes gorgeous!!!!
@LuciferOfPoland Gotcha.
@LuciferOfPoland
Any suggestions to improve it?
The US military most likely took over the project because they saw the potential for a long range supersonic nuclear srtike bomber.
It would have been nice to see this airliner see fruition.
This is a goegeous model, great friggin job!
One of the most accurately built Aircraft in the Su-27 family that ive ever seen.
Phenominal.

@yoshicraze
The Sky Crawlers.
One of the best F-14s ive ever seen on the site, great work.
@SledDriver
Theyre very basic, but thanks.

When you take area rule far too seriously.
@WilhelmScream @ThomasRoderick Thanks guys!
@RenxBlake usually around 450+ miles per hour in level flight, but she can reach 500 and above in a dive or at high altitudes.
@breitling Thanks!
I'mma upload a simple A-10 design for this challenge, I hope I'm not late.
This is such a good model, and such few parts, great work!
SHE'S GORGEOUS!!!
This design is so unique that i originally thought it to be a spacecraft.
I like that this thing has a wingspan to body size ratio akin to that of a moth, id imagine that it turns on a dime as well.
@SXHK I agree, i find it a little laggy but its pretty neat. Good luck finishing it.
Someone finally decided to make it! And its very accurate might i add, very well done!
@RobXDev my models are made to suit my device's limitations, but pretty soon i'll start making complex builds. Thanks for the spotlight.
@RobXDev I will upload the helicopter as soon as posible.

Great work as always.
Damn dude this looks like it belongs in StarCombat, shes gorgeous.
Lmao its a gun grenade.
@ThomasRoderick
Ayyye!
@CDRxavier
There are helicopters that can reach way past a hundred miles per hour, take the Mi-24 for example, it has a recorded top speed of 205 miles per hour.
@jamesPLANESii
I would agree, but isn't that the point with military combat gear? To have them blend in?
@2416creeper inside the aircraft, I simply increased the max input to 100 times that of it's original counterpart via XML Editing.
@Alexiozo
You can thank those gyros for that.
@ericflexa
I like that P-12 K1 you got.
Nice job mate!
@Cybercool5656
I agree, I'm glad to see that others feel the same way. Thanks.
