McDonnell Douglas/Cyclone Aerospace F-15S Storm Eagle

14.2k Griffon1  4.1 years ago

The F-15S is an upgraded version of the F-15 manufactured by Cyclone Aerospace, known as the Storm Eagle. It combines many aspects of the numerous F-15 prototypes and concepts that popped up over time, including the F-15 MANX, and the F-15 STOL/MTD.
It retains many features of its source craft, like the two massive turbofans, and the iconic intakes, but reworks many of the control surfaces.
The F-15S sports an impressive array of maneuvering technologies, such as canards, large wing strakes, and F-22 style thrust vectoring. The weapons and avionics remained largely unchanged, save for two LC-02 laser cannons under the wings.
This aircraft is being produced in small numbers as supplies for the IUPF and other PMC groups.

    @DanDaFreakinMan Oh wow this is an old post. I actually have a fixed version on my drive which fixes almost all of the problems, and adds PSMs, and it turns out to have good performance in that version. Might release that later.
    But about this plane, yeah it's kinda bad; slow, heavy, and basically unarmed. I was mostly going for aesthetic anyways. If you'd like I could tag you if I post the fixed version.

    Looks really cool, flies like crap though unfortunately. Not only is it not that stable, its wings also doesn't function as roll. Its vertical stabilizers can barely fill in that roll, but then it's in revered. Its missiles also don't seem to do anything
