YF-28A Lackey

4,069 JSTQ  6 months ago
Auto Credit Based on TheUltimatePlaneLover's Intimidator Fighter

Warning: Although this aircraft was originally designed for AI, please never attempt to have AI pilot this aircraft.

Yes, my master. Tear them apart!

The YF-28A is another type of drone improved from the intimidator, abandoning radar and missiles in exchange for the ultimate dog fighting capability. Although it is not very helpful for beyond line of sight combat, it can provide support as an unmanned drone in close air combat.
In most combat situations, a manned two seater fighter jet can carry two servants to participate in air combat, and due to its low equipment requirements and relatively cheap cost, it is widely praised as a consumable (except for its opponents in dogfights).

    @JSTQ Well, there you go


    This kids, is why we don't make LEGO Planes in SimplePlanes (/j)

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover I previously believed that this aircraft could have the same maneuverability as the T-3, but later I found out that in actual machine gun dogfights, the angle of attack of this aircraft was between 18 and 25 degrees, at the edge of stall, making it a bit difficult to control. Moreover, the excessively high angle of attack results in worrying energy storage and a significant decrease in speed during turns.
    After modification, the angle of attack of this aircraft was maintained at around 15 to 18 degrees, but its maneuverability decreased. This resulted in it being bitten by all other planes except for crushing the fighter bomber in the dogfight of the same class fighter jet as me.
    To be honest, this aircraft will stall sooner or later after further modifications. Then I decided to refer to how the US Air Force and Navy modified the F-5E and FA-18E with wing shapes similar to theirs. It was found that the original design concept of the former was low wing area and high wing load. From my observation, wing load is a very important parameter in SP, and the lower the maneuverability, the better. This design makes it difficult to expand the wing area of this aircraft, and the F18E's maneuverability upgrade mainly focuses on increasing the wing area.
    And this aircraft has a small volume, making it difficult to support more significant modifications. So I think the design of this aircraft determines that its upper limit of maneuverability is insufficient.

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover F-33J. Received, thank you.
    Regarding the warning you raised to me, thank you for your reminder. In fact, this is indeed a hassle, and I have been making modifications for a long time. But don't worry too much, even at this stage, its maneuverability is comparable to the T-3.

    @JSTQ Okay, so my comments are:
    -The part about rolling is entirely true, I noticed that myself not gonna lie... would be wise to fix it :D
    -The air intake is built that way for stealth. That and it is modeled after a LEGO plane I made that hypothetically has similar intake mechanism. The F-33A is a bizarre aircraft despite it basically having F-16 status so I would I wouldn't worry too much about it, but feel free to modify if you like.
    -I agree for the third point, but one thing I want to warn you about is pitch. Depending on which way you look at it, the F-33A either doesn't pitch enough or is two unstable whilst up-pitching. Think you could fix it?
    -After the renovation, I recommend the name F-33J for no reason other than the fact that it's a trend among F-33J buyers (CrestelAeronautics has the F-33C and FOXHOUND26 has the F-33F)

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover When I first saw this plane, I couldn't evaluate it, because I didn't know where to roast first.
    Actually, the most important issue is still about rolling. Although this aircraft cleverly uses a cylinder as the control surface and adjusts its speed to 100%, there are still issues with delayed control, which can easily cause excessive rolling and significantly reduce the aircraft's pointing ability.
    There is also an issue with the air intake. To be honest, this air intake seems strange to me because the upward opening of the intake has a problem of insufficient air intake during large maneuvers. I have only seen this design on B2 bombers and some bizarre aircraft.
    The other issues are relatively easy to handle, and in a nutshell, the potential is very high, far from reaching its limit. If there is really no idea, you can refer to the upgrade content of FA-18E.
    By the way, after I complete the renovation, what model should I name it?

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover I am currently planning modifications to the F-33A. I noticed that you seem to be planning an upgrade as well, but there is no way to start. I remember when this plane was first released, I forgot to express my opinion. Is it still possible to make up for it now?

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover I am glad to hear that, thanks bro. But in fact, this was a long time ago unfinished work because I was very busy at that time. The original plan was to build an AI fighter jet, and I had already made it, but I didn't have time to save it, so I had to cancel it.
