Flight instructions:
Relatively intuitive and simple flight characteristics. Optimal landing speed is 240 kph and below, cruising speed without afterburners is around 1050 kph at sea level, and just above 1200 kph with afterburners. Lower throttle when maneuvering at lower speeds, 400 kph and below, to avoid flatspins. AG1 to lower arresting hook, AG2 to activate emergency drogue chute, AG7 to jettison missiles. Cockpit view is not functional for technical reasons, use camera 1 view instead.

Backstory:
Developed in the 1960s, Avalon Aerospace AA-1C had been the workhorse and defender for the Avalon Republic for more than 5 decades. Thanks to its delta wing configuration and sleek, aerodynamic shape, Citrine boasts an extremely impressive maneuverability, its max potential held back only by the physical limitations of the pilot and the structural integrity of its aluminum-titanium airframe. With such a long service life, it still remains a threat to its more modern opponents.

Announcements:
In case you are still reading, thank you sincerely for your time. As you may have noticed, I have included a new backstory section to my post. I'm happy to announce that I will be working on lore and backstories for my planes from now on, as a motivation (excuse) for myself and to of course further improve my work. Details and updates about that will be coming soon, stay tuned!

    You make some amazing looking aircraft! Nice concepts. From the back while flying, this feels a little like an F-14 with the wings swept back

    Finally, a non-beta plane. The cockpit is beautifully sculpted! Also, I love delta wings!
