BAe/McDonnell Douglas JAST
The JSF program has produced one of the world's best known aircraft in the F-35, and amongst aviation enthusiasts, the rival X-32 concept from Boeing is also familiar. However, back when the program was still the Joint Advanced Strike Technology program, or JAST, there was actually a third competitor from a three-way coalition. British Aerospace, McDonnell Douglas, and Northrop Grumman worked together on a striking concept of their own.
Building on BAe's work on a potential Harrier replacement, their entry performed well, but was ultimately deselected due to overly complex requirements for the VTOL B version.
I've armed this externally, which runs somewhat counter to the ethos of the JSF, but it's intended for use in RyneKuczy's Modern Fighter Challenge.

@Ian1231100 oh, cool! What was the book?
I remember seeing this in a book when I was a kid, cool! :D
Meh
@Trent1sz thanks!
@Thelaw11 thanks man. I try to be efficient with parts where I can, although in this case it was also partly because I was getting fed up with a more complex project and just wanted to finish something quickly haha
nice build for such a low part count! smooth look
@Wakescar oh my, no pressure then hahaha. Thanks for the vote though!
Holy hell this thing is an fn animal! Favorited. Word on the street, from my good buddy L-image, says your the man. I'll be keeping an eye out ;)
@MediocrePlanes d'awww you're too kind
@Skua

Yep, thats the one! It's by far one of my favorite airplanes
@Madlycat really?
Looks like an old airplane I saw on here called FF-99 The future of Flight 2
@Skua yay~!!!!
When you want to snuggle with bae but remember that she's a fighter jet.
@Toxicgirl how's this? One thing, though: don't use the mirror plane function, it'll break the inlets. Mirror individual parts instead
@Skua yay~! ^.^
@Toxicgirl alright, cool. I'm helping with another project just now, I'll get back to you as soon as I can
@Skua https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Y1n5a5/hawker
@Toxicgirl ahh right, cool. Can I see what you've got so far? Upload it unlisted and link me here or something
@Skua hawker p 1081
@Toxicgirl is that missing a number? I can't find anything about a Hawker P.108. If I'm wrong, link me, because I always like Hawker stuff
Skuuuuaaaa can u make me a ful thing like this or "hull" trying to make a hawker p 108 and I can't get the hull shape right x.x
@Skua,LOL apparently I cant buy you a beer;-) The plane is just a proof that it is working.
