Flexible wing technology (weaponised version).

The X-53 was a modified F/A-18 fighter used for a joint Air Force, Boeing and NASA project called the Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW).

For complicated maneuvers use Yaw as well as roll and pitch.

AG1 to AG5 for missiles.
AG6 for bombs.
AG7 for chute.
AG8 = lights.
Brake for arrester hook.
+ hard hitting gatling gun.
Full cockpit operation.

Enjoy, SR.
