PX-2C Swallow Tail Black Streak

1,721 HBirdmanAATL  8.7 years ago

Tired of always being the slow horse in comparison to if's British rival the Swallow Tail underwent a massive redesign shortly before the end of the war. With it's wings swept even further back, it's body streamlined, and the addition of new experimental jet engines the Swallow Tail "Black Streak" easily broke the 800mph mark and was now faster than it's big winged cousin. For those that don't know thi is design came from an idea for a comic I had. The design is meant to be an evolution of the PX-2B Swallow Tail. I also pulled additional inspiration for the overall design from the F-14 Tomcat.
