M.W. 650 'Raptor'
This is probably one of the longest series I've ever worked on. This aircraft was modified, and flown from generation one to four, and still lives on now. The 4th generation version will be coming soon, but now, just enjoy this cool looking, un-flyable aircraft. The role of the 1st generation version of this plane (AKA this specific plane) was designed to replace the long forgotten M.W. 740 Heavy Recon aircraft. As you could see, there is a ball camera under the plane. Of course, since the M.W. 740 was also used as an air defense fighter and a heavy fighter, the M.W. 650 was needed to replace that, too. But sadly, even though the plane was much faster, aerodynamic, and stealthier, it was VERY difficult to fly. The project was cancelled and only a few were manufactured. And that is why, it was behind the curtain for so, so long.

@Mostly ok
@Ranger2099 Yeah, the second-generation version was a heavy fighter, but it didn't perform better than the M.W. 448, an ultralight fighter.
@Mostly this is a great aircraft. Love the design, but it needs more guns it seems more of a heavy fighter than a fighter
@Mostly no problem!
