Name: Panavia Cyclone Mk. IV Blk. 5
Type: Personal Concept
Attempt #: 9
Falkenwut Generation Build: 7.5
After 2 years of many redesigns and broken attempts, I finally present to you the final iterations of the Panavia Cyclone project!
This has been one of my most challenging designs so far. I managed to keep things simple, yet giving it more of a JSF-style feel that came out in the successful Mk. II Variant & MK. III Variant, it has come to a design that I'm finally happy with!

Hope you guys enjoy it. I'm intending to keep this project going and keep upgrading it as I go, trying to make a realistic simulation as much as possible. I'm happy for any criticism or feedback provided as this keeps my project going. I'm not quite sure how the aircraft handles in VR given the use of Head Mounted Targetting system. Please let me know how that goes.

@Liquidfox01 specifically the f-32 design (not the x-32 prototype) and the f-35C naval version.
The rafale, f-22 and eurofighter inspired the cockpit
So it's the unholy lovechild of the X-32 and F-35? lol
