Hello there.

Welcome to the reveal of the first ever fictional creation of mine.

AAI YF-45A TYPHOON

The YF-45 is a fictional, Indonesian, twin-engine, single-seat, 5th generation Multirole Combat Aircraft (MCA) produced by Aurum Aerospace Industries. I say that, though, never really had an interest in making a fictional company, so I built it in a "rush", thinking of some cool company name for this thing.

To the story of how I designed and built this, I started designing this thing like, a month or two ago. Design honestly didn't change much, but fun fact: It was supposed to be single engine, but I decided to go for 2 engines because 1 simply isn't good enough for a big guy.

This is meant to be for the SPiD HUT RI 77th challenge.
