Wolfenstein Ho 229

Auto Credit Based on FlyingThings's Wolfenstein Ho 229 (No mods)

The design was a response to Hermann Göring's call for light bomber designs capable of meeting the "3×1000" requirement; namely to carry 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb) of bombs a distance of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) with a speed of 1,000 kilometres per hour (620 mph). Only jets could provide the speed, but these were extremely fuel-hungry, so considerable effort had to be made to meet the range requirement. Based on a flying wing, the Ho 229 lacked all extraneous control surfaces to lower drag. It was the only design to come even close to the 3×1000 requirements and received Göring's approval. Its ceiling was 15,000 metres (49,000 ft). Though, this design was created much later, and has much higher top speeds, and increased maneuverability.

Improvements:

Improved top speed (7800 mph)
Improved maneuverability
High powered weapons
Able to yaw

FlyingThings made the original design, and it’s pretty cool, I just improved it a bit.

VTOL to brake

I may or may not have copy and pasted this description from Wolfenstein Wiki...

    Fun fact :
    I remember actually implementing yaw via airbrakes on this but i guess it somehow didnt save or something, or maybe i mirrored it wrong...
    Whatever, nice
