Boeing FA-XX (VFA-103)
This is a concept development of a sixth-generation fighter of the US Navy in the late-2000s.
This is an imaginative depiction of what I believe the Boeing F/A-XX would look like under VFA-103 “Jolly Rogers” colors…
I’ve made several modifications to “Otana’s F/A-XX”…
New Features Includes:
1. I repainted it to appear like it was in the US Navy’s VF-103 “Jolly Rogers”…
2. The AIM-9X “Block II’ was updated to the “Block III” variant, wherein just like my “Anti-Surface Weapons Pack”, the "time-to-acquisition" targeting has been replaced with an auto-locking system, so no green circle…
3. I modified the AIM-9X launching mechanism to avoid collisions with the fuselage…
Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Folding Wings
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brake
AG7 = Retract The Catapult Launch Bar
AG8 = Master Arm and Activate AOA Limiter
VTOL Down = Locks the control surfaces into position
Trim = For Trim Controls
Landing Gear = Gears and Cockpit Raiser
Brake = Aerodynamic Deflection Rudders (may cause the aircraft to wobble sideways, but helps in making high-G maneuvers)
Credit goes to Otana for the F/A-XX Concept...
