Older version designated as the EP-3. Most photos will be grounded aircraft, radome retracted. Might find some photos of an airborne EP-3 but the USN is shy about letting photographers get close to the real plane. One ref: www.simpleplanes.com/a/k39Caj/USN-EP-3E-ARIES-II-Sigint @Authros
Note: Further tests on an Android show this vessel cruises 1,000+ MPH at 100,000 feet, wings retracted. If you extend wings at high altitude it just zooms past that height, and does not level out.
FYI @Wormforce still like your version. However, I needed mobile-friendly AC carriers, so I finally posted several that actually launch aircraft, for cockpit-in-aircraft missions. I fly them on my iPhone.
I see entries using rotor blocks, therefor I'll enter a couple fun entries, with your cockpit and potential credits. This is for fun, I not need points......
Thanks, and yeah the nose rises too high only during takeoff; customized horizontal stabilizers control that. When high enough the fast engines kick-in and the flight becomes level @thelatentimage
Note: @Ctracerx2 @thumseybomber I submitted a new, similar model to the Futuristic Challenge, which used only one modded part. This has several mods and double the speed as V1. FYI, you may still like this one as well.
@thumseybomber I just entered a new plane, following the guidelines. It uses you cockpit. Advise download it soon, since I may take down this particular post (your cockpit in it) in 2 days.
Thanks @plansnthings
Thanks @PlanesOfOld
Thanks @carter2

Thanks @Nightraider
Yeah haven't solved that one yet or it would be posted by now. Working on the concept of retracting radomes, myself. @Authros
@LjSpike I I've submitted 2 entries that have you cockpit attached. I don't need points, so consider them gifts, and keep building and enjoying SP.
Yes, and thanks @jheffernan
I'll check out future postings! Yes @Authros made the definitive replica.

Perhaps a Lockheed P3 ARIES Sigint (still in operation) with the underbelly radome that retracts at takeof, extents in-flight? Next?
Recon version of the classic Connie!
Thanks, and yes it took mulpitle redesigns on this missiles! @Authros
"No Control" seems it would eliminate Rotors (gyro copters) any wing surface even totally flat surfaces. Without clarification, gonna skip this one.
Thanks! @jacobhardy64
Thanks @carter2
Okay, I got the jundroo on the first try, the Tiny took 2 attempts. Thanks @Hypnoticchicken
Thank you @Teus
Thanks @thelatentimage
Sure you got the latest Amazon release of SimplePlanes? I'm on a 3rd Gen Fire android, it works okay.
Like it! Different design & handling than the Flying Ray I did, this one's great at gliding!
FYI @jacobhardy64 I just posted a bomber that releases 2 of these. Fairly easy to do.
Thanks @JShay
I'll post you an airplane for this.
Thanks @thumseybomber

Great experiment, easy to operate. Keep it up!
Thank you @jacobhardy64
Thanks @nightraider Yes I could reconfigure some things here, so far this is a compound-wing structure that I'm amazed held together during tests.
Thanks @IMDABEST
Better. Balance okay. These speeds require special canard, eventually.

Thanks @Nickasaurusrex - I intentionally moved the COL Way Forward after several flight tests (goes into a flat spin above 60,000 feet otherwise).

Great looks, fun to fly!

Thanks @Gelodicus It needs Det=2 and med to hi graphics. It did not explode when I ran it on my phone.
Below 90,000 simulated feet, I agree, thanks. @404unknown
Addendum: cruises at 2,500 mph at 115,000 feet level flight. (This model not the legendary MIG25).
