Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Classic Jet Challenge 12.25.23 [CLOSED]
This is my entry to the challenge. It is my exercise to build custom wings with complicated airfoil shape. I think I did just fine. Even though there are quite a few XP-79 replicas on the site, I think this plane is due for an update.
The plane is quite underpowered but it has very little drag. It can only achieve its real-life top speed at high altitudes. Fortunately, it does not lose a lot of speed during turning. The stall speed is just below 200km/h so do be aware since this plane is basically powered by two APUs.
Activate 8 for additional yaw stability at low speeds.
Hope you enjoy

I love that they (Northrop) were deranged enough to build this "Ramming" aircraft
Awesome. I love to have this X plane.
