A twin-seat, long-range, high endurance stealth tactical nuclear weapons delivery platform most suitable for interdiction missions deep behind enemy lines.


A modification of the original Rapier GR.1. Enlarged rudders ensure full functionality of anti-spin/spin recovery systems in aggressive high-AoA maneuvers. Modified aerodynamics allows supercruise at Mach 1.17. Redesigned airframe and fuel tank storage increases range and endurance while retaining maximum performance. Capable of supersonic flight; sustains 3.6G with 32 deg AoA at 390kph. (full mission loadout & max fuel load, AoA limiter disabled, 1000m).

Features a fully functional afterburner system that engages at 100% throttle. Features an anti-slip/anti-spin system in the rudders. Adaptive elevon deflection rate for better control at high speeds.

Armed with a default of a single 20mm rotary cannon capable of firing up to 6,000 rpm. Carries 2x subsonic cruise missiles armed with tactical nuclear warheads, with 2x high off-boresight IR missiles for close-range dogfights. Features rapid-firing downwards V-launched IR countermeasures with 200 reserve shots.

    try putting a vector thrust on it, preferably 3D.
    Also, fix the aircraft flight instability issues; she is very satisfying.
