Introduction
Beginning its life as part of test project “Thrust Vector”, the F/A-402 Archangel eventually outgrew its experimental designation and entered frontline service. Designed to be highly maneuverable yet capable of supersonic flight, the Archangel excels at both while also being near undetectable due to its stealth airframe. It is able to achieve this high maneuverability with its advance wing vectoring system and duel 3-axis thrust vectoring engines. This aircraft is also capable of operating from aircraft carriers and also able to perform air-to-air refueling. The armaments of the F/A-402 includes 1 high rate of fire revolver cannon and 6 multi-role Exitus missiles located in the internal weapons bay. Extra armaments can be add to the hard point mounts on the wings, with minimal effect on the radar cross section. While production of the aircraft continues to be slow, all airframes in active service have shown that the F/A-402 Archangels are not to be trifled with.

When i can be this good?
@CaptainFranchfries
I'm happy to hear that.
@GuyFolk thanks, your tutorials were what made it possible
@SkyJayTheFirst
Thanks for showing me this plane, it do PSM well, I guess CaptainFranchfries is you in the past lol.
@CaptainFranchfries
I think this plane fly really well, using high thrust to overcome the plane innate stability to do PSM is a nice way to start but it can comeback to bite you in some rare circumstance.
And I think you tuned the plane really well to get to this point.
I also flew the Better Maneuverability Version too, it fly better and smoother.
Good job.
@CaptainFranchfries you actually got Andrew Garrison to like your jet, bro. Congrats!
@CaptainFranchfries no problem, but don't thank me. Thank Guyfolk for making them in the first place.
@SkyJayTheFirst I don’t know how I didn’t come across these supermaneuvering tutorials, but they are gonna be so helpful, thanks
@CaptainFranchfries I believe this is a perfect aircraft for supermaneuvering. However, I would like to fully recommend you watch some tutorials from @GuyFolk . He can teach you everything you need to know about supermaneuvers with overload.
@BaconAircraft I wasn’t able to make this craft a successor to tarikGR’s 5th gen fighter challenge after multiple tries, is it possible for you to make this craft a successor to the challenge?

Your aircraft is quite awesome! Now tag a mod
Looks like a X02 from ace combat
Well, I thought it was called X-02s?
