What is the F-11
The F-11 is an early supersonic capable(not at sea level.) carrier based fighter aircraft.
It was in service between 1956 and 1961 but it also flew with the Blue Angles Flight Demonstration Team until 1969.
This thing... was an abomination, not because it had one big flaw, it was just littered with many.
This plane shot itself down for example.
This was Grumman's first supersonic aircraft, so a few flaws aren't really surprising.
Anyhoo, let's move onto gameplay stuff.
Controls
AGs
1: Activate all lights on the aircraft.
2: Airbrakes.
3: Arresting Hook
4: Activate AIM9Bs.
VTOL: Flaps.
TRIM: Trim -dUh-
>95% Throttle for Afterburners.
Weaponry
AIM-9B
"Sidewinder on it's way to annihilate a Twin Prop."
The AIM-9B Sidewinder, in this build will take 4 seconds to activate after you turn Action Group 4 on.
"Imagine shooting yourself down, cringe."
4 20MM Colt MK 12 Cannons. They hit like a truck and have a decent fire rate.
Just don't shoot yourself down.
How to fly and not suck
Takeoff
Flaps down, full afterburner.
Get to ~270kph (125 knots) and pitch up, near 300kph, you should take off.
Retract your gears,
you are ready to soar.
Landing
Gear down, flaps full and airbrakes out, slow down as much as you can, that usually being near 330kph.
Pitch up whilst trying to maintain a slight descent, that way, you can touchdown smoothly.

Sorry I forgot guys :)
FEATURED!
my 3rd feature in a row
It breaks on the catapult lol, just remove the catapult connector to fix.
the exhaust is a bit thinner in real life but otherwise,
stunning work!

@MrEarth olm sende yeni uçak yap
@hRmm olm 4 haftalık uçağa yorum yapıp durma xd
platinyuma gelince bizi hatırla abisi
How it only happens on you plane if I just spawn a vtol without changing any setting it just is like that but if I make my own it is just a normal vtol@MrEarth
@Avataraang sekret
Actually how did you program the vtol to make that trail? @MrEarth
@TheMeatball thank u
Im so happy i didnt compete in the cold war challenge id have ro face u
@lilgreen06 my little pony
Umm, How did you do that exhaust trail?
@ChiChiWerx thank you :)
@MrEarth I’ll have to try your speed brakes with G trick; I’ve used speed brakes with AoA, but your technique works really well. I also forgot to say that this build certainly looks great, nice aesthetics, I can see you had to make some tough choices wrt the livery, making it presentable without adding another hundred parts. Have to say, nice work with this.
@One2 well kinda ;)
@MrEarth also I thank you for building this plane, I learned a few things
@MrEarth Im entering the same challenge as you, sooooo.... Is it okay that I use your g limit airbrake thingy assembly whatamabobs?
I'll credit you.
I saw this getting featured the second it was on discord
@ChiChiWerx double ping, but, I made the slats a bit complicated with the deployment, so they only deploy with flaps, lol.
Speed loss during turns was achieved by an airbrake that extended more the more G's you pulled (It would extend fully at 13 or 15 i think.)
However, I am not aware of the problem with the stall speed, when I tested, it felt fine so I didn't feel the need to tweak it any further.
Thanks for your feedback :)
@ChiChiWerx Hey ChiChi, the trim was a low amount to try to keep people from cheesing max pitchrate
Can it shoot itself down lol
Nice build as always my qardaş
