PX-3C Hammerfall Fire

1,721 HBirdmanAATL  8.0 years ago

Towards the war's end Soviet engineers abandoned the motor jet concept completely in favor of the more powerful turbo jet. With the main wings now aggressively swept forward the "Red Jet" could keep pace with its American and British counterparts while still being relatively easy to repair in the field.

Like the Wingblade the inspiration for this plane came from an idea I had for a comic. I wanted to test to see if the design I came up with on paper might work in real life. Press 1 to activate the jet engines. Airbrakes are operated through the VTOL controls.

This design came out incredibly fast for such a conventional looking aircraft. I ended up nerfing the engines to get the performance I wanted. I may upload the more powerful versions later.
