YF-27 Orca

396 TomShift  6.0 years ago

The YF-27 Orca was designed to be a multi-role support fighter. This plane is designed to handle at least mach 1 while loaded and to be able to make high speed turns. It's cargo options include: air to air rockets, air to ground rockets, and even rocket pods are available. The YF-27 uses two simple wing guns that aren't limited to short bursts like most guns on jets.

I wanted to challenge myself to build a plane with no modded parts, and no subassemblies, the plane had to both look and perform well. Even though I haven't built anything in a long time, I'm actually proud of this one.

    Hey if anyone sees this, could you find a way to blend the engines into the fuselage? I think it kinda make the plane not as appealing as it should be. Thanks
