Manufacturer: Northrop Grumman - Year Founded: 1939 - Year designed and made: 1957 - Northrop had wanted to build a multipurpose jet that could dogfight and ground attack. Equipped with one ground attack cannon and one wing gun. Although not very fast or manueverable, it can dogfight, but don't expect to win. It also comes equipped with 4 air-to-air missiles, 2 air-to-ground missiles, and 2 250 lb bombs. Northrop's aircraft was quickly decommissioned after test pilots realized it wasn't very useful. I'm not experienced in making fighter jets ok? I can't make a highly manueverable jet that looks good with the regulations that Mikoyanster has on his challenge. But in all seriousness this was fun and I'm just entering for the fun of it. Probably the coolest part of this aircraft is the trailing link landing gear. You can land hard and barely notice it lol. Just don't start braking until all wheels are on the ground. 1=Air brakes VTOL=Flaps G=LandingGear. Enjoy! And Diloph helped with the gear.

My f-212 be lookin' like the world's heaviest man. @Gott
Awesome!@asteroidbook345
Oh alright, well thanks for testing it and I hope it does good!@asteroidbook345
@Hedero no problem. This one still flies good though so it doesn’t need to change all that much
Oh ok. I'll definately try that when I build new fictional aircraft. Thanks for the help!@Mustang51
I think it actually flies pretty decently, especially compared to most other planes on SP. If you want it to be more stable and wobble a little less, I would add a bit more wing surface area (probably between 75-120ft^2 more) and move the CoM forward. I hope that helps!
Thank you! I don't know about the flying part. It seems to control similar to a moth near a lamp at night lol. But thx anyways!@Mustang51
This is one of the coolest looking aircraft ideas I’ve seen in a long time! Absolutely wonderful build with lots of great detail. It flies well too
What do you mean? I simply had to delete my mig because it was not a successor to the challenge. Otherwise if I left it it would not be entered.@Chancey21
Ok, I am a hug supporter of your builds, but I do notice that you upload and delete almost every build. @Hedero
Ok I'm sorry but when I uploaded my mig, it didn't say it was a successor to Mikoyanster's challenge. So I had to take it down to upload it later.@Chancey21
Would you please stop fake uploading?
@Alta2809 Thanks!
Bizarre Design, I love it!
@Hedero
Thanks!@FatEgg
Lol thank you!@Otter0308
This looks like a messed up f-16 I love it
Thank you!@Carbonfox1
Absolutely love this ugly thing, great work
I am actually building a much better performing and better looking aircraft as my second entry to the challenge. So hopefully I won't disappoint anyone this time lol.
