Explorer Challenge - Maritime Patrol Aircraft

7.2 years ago
My second submission for Bogdan's Explorer Challenge. This is a Maritime Patrol/Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft, hence the large revolving radar on the top. In this configuration, it's designed to operate alone over open water, searching for enemy shipping which it can then destroy with the two Cleaver missiles it carries.
