SA FF-01 "Freedom Fighter"

3,862 SangerAircraft  6.7 years ago

BACKSTORY(this is an alternate history scenario):
After World War 2, Germany was incredibly weak and divided, and the Soviet Union was hungry for a new piece of land. However, the United States, Britain and France managed to fend off the Soviet soldiers and slowly build a new, unified and free Germany. The allies were incredibly advanced in ground warfare, but they could never expect the surprise of the Soviet Air Force, comprised of Nazi technology-derived fighter planes and bombers built to do routine, brutal damage to the new state. Germany needed an Air Force of their own. And America's SAircraft Corporation engineered a cutting-edge delta wing design, specifically designed to counter the Soviet fighters and intercept heavy bombers. It was fast, agile, and heavily loaded. The fighter was not just any fighter, it was a freedom fighter. It was the SA Freedom-Fighter One, or FF-01 for short. It entered service in 1957, and served the Luftwaffe until 1979, with the introduction of the Panavia Tornado.

This plane will take off on its own, so there is no need to pull up until you are in the air. Landing requires you to pitch down, as the plane bounces on landing.

Enjoy!

    I actually started with the idea of a mig 21 with draken wings and then I found out about that. Pretty much just that with RF-84 parts @Authros

    Based off the MiG-21 A-144 prototype? I was just in a discussion with someone today about it oddly. Nice build.
