F-104Plus-Block-III-Maneuverability-weapon-strengthened

3,015 KM13  1.7 years ago

A strengthened modernized F-104 with a pair of canard and better missiles, digital flight control system, as well as thrust vectoring of 20 degrees. Missile data improved.
Wing loading lowered.

Better performance advice:
Please change the expression of flight control variable 'Rol' into:
smooth(Roll,4)-YawRate*YawRate*YawRate*0.000000001728+RollRate*0.002

to increase its roll stability.
