Mirage Inspired Delta Wing Prototype

264 callmom1  3.2 years ago

I’ve never made a pure Delta wing craft with no canards so i decided to try and follow the design of the mirage 3. It doesn’t look exactly like a Mirage but I wasn’t going for a replica and I am extremely happy with the way it flies. The only part properties i changed were the mass and drag of the double stacked mid section and the drag of the intakes.

    Very cool. I love delta wing aircraft, and this looks a lot better than the ones I build.
