This is a fictional experimental aircraft made by the Erusean Air and Space Administration, except it's not actually made by them but I thought that it fit given the planes they're responsible for. The plane was built around the idea of a long range, high-speed interceptor aircraft, and while it's not exactly long range it is very fast and surprisingly maneuverable for it's weight.
VTOL Up = Air-brakes

    @KCferrari Yeah, I can certainly understand where you're coming from on the engines, I had originally experimented with using a VTOL engine to have a psuedo afterburner effect, mapped to an action key, but that didn't work out too well so I just upped the power, all for the sake of this being an "interceptor" EDIT: I should also mention that this started out in life with reverse gull-wings like those on an X-02 Wyvern

    Cool Plane. Interesting design, its like a cut up delta, and it handles great. Only thing is the engine power is a little overkill for my tastes
