FAL-40S Hipster Stealth Fighter

Background

The implementation of stealth technology seems become a widespread phenomenon in the 21st-century military. A lot of countries develop their own low observable, 5th generation fighter aircraft. Although we already have our own 5th generation fighter with our FAD-90S Galleon, the said aircraft is on the hi configuration, more like a heavy fighter focused on the air superiority mission even though has the multirole capability. Also, it has overall higher production and maintenance costs. What we need is more low-cost, higher production potential, and design-wise focused primarily on jack-of-all-trade, complementing the Galleon. By that, project Fighter Advanced Lightweight is commenced

Design and Description

The FAL-40S Hipster is a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather multirole stealth fighter intended for air superiority and attack missions. Designed with an emphasis on ease of maintenance, low-cost options, and multi-role capability, it follows the same design philosophy as the F35 Lighting. It uses a v-tail configuration like the SU-75 Checkmate for reduced weight, easier manufacture, and possible reduced RCS.

It has 3 main bays, 1 in the middle for main, and 2 neatly squeezing the engine for Short-range IR missiles. It also incorporates Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) for guided munition.

In the nutshell, this thing is just like Galleon: could throw hands at bandits and serve knuckle sandwiches to someone down below just in a smaller package and lower cost

• Feel free to take the missile
• I use high physics when building this so use the same setting
• If your device cannot run this, try to set every quality setting to low

Author note

this thing should be an entry for Blue's Stealth Challenges 2022, but it seems it canceled. In any way, I hope he's doing fine.
Also, I wanna thanks this fine gentleman whose name that I cannot even read, gave better glimiter code in FT discord

I used to use PID as glimiter that I got from the forum. It works but have tendency to oscilate. I don't wanna tune PID lol
