JU Jet MK.1

12.5k Flash0of0green  8.7 years ago

The JU Jet is designed to be small but well armed. In combat this jet is designed to be hard to hit and to hit hard. It takes some real skill to fly this thing, however this jet is slower than most putting more points into maneuverability then speed.

    @Pilotmario @Xogo it might benefit you to know that the Marktwo has already been built I just haven't uploaded it yet and want to make sure that the community actually wants it before I uploaded.

    @Flash0of0green Makes sense, but it would be even harder to hit if it was more maneuverable.

    @Flash0of0green I tested this on the high physics setting though.

    Thank you for the feedback. This is a mark one so any bugs I have with it I'll be fixing in predecessor installments. I just wanted to get the communities opinion on it see if I should actually put time into fixing it or if I should just drop the project altogether. Yet again I thank you for your input.@Pilotmario

    @Flash0of0green A two, if 10 is the highest. Elevator authority at speeds under 250 mph is almost nonexistent. Takeoff roll is exceptionally long. The weaponry is limited, and the aircraft is thoroughly underpowered from lack of air intakes. Maximum speed recorded was 325 mph in level flight at 1,000 feet. Endurance is nonexistent. However, roll rate is excellent. It is exceptionally clumsy to handle due to the lack of elevator authority and extreme roll rate. Air brakes are recommended, due to abnormally high landing speed.

    Its small size would make it hard to visually recognize in a dogfight if it had the speed. When tested against Hummingbird Attack Fighters and Renegade II, it fared poorly. Against the Renegade II, it could outmaneuver the jet at lower speeds, but suffered in mid-range engagements. The Hummingbird was able to shoot down the aircraft with its 30mm cannon with relative ease. The Hummingbird was able to outrun and outmaneuver this aircraft.

    This is a mark one after all so I could do that Mark two although the whole point of this plan was it for to be hard to hit in the dogfight.@Xogo

    Oh my god, this thing's adorable! You might want to make it's wings a little bigger though - The wing loading is very high, which is not good, and is severely limiting the plane's maneuverability.

    @Pilotmario how would you say it flies on a scale from 1 to 10?
