Tupolev Tu-135

1,605 Antontheilluminati  2.6 years ago

Probably the best-looking 2-day project from me to date.
The Tu-135 is a lesser-known project of a supersonic interdiction bomber and missile carrier proposed by OKB Tupolev in 1958. This design is the second iteration of the aircraft. The experience gained from it helped with development of the Tu-22M and the later Tu-160. The project was abandoned once Sukhoi's T-4 has established itself.
Steers like a normal plane, has funky custom landing gear, custom Kh-22 missiles for anti-ship duties, and trimmable horisonal stabilizers in the front for easier flying. While differing from the original proposed weapon loadout, this version is mostly a "what-if" interpretation.
AG 1 for landing chute
AG 4 unlocks the front gear for taxi.
Required the Jet Engine Mod.

Check out my other aircraft, such as the M-30.
Have fun!
