Auto Credit Based on DFoulke's XPF-01A Ripper

Hey! DFoulke here. This is the very first original aircraft I have made. This aircraft is an original design by me. I've put a lot of effort into making it. I am still new to SP though so it doesn't look as attractive as many pro builds, but I'm still proud of it.

What you're looking at is the Experimental Prototype Fighter no. 1, or XPF-01 for short. It is a stealth fighter designed for interception, air-superiority and is capable of providing ground support. It was designed my my fictional characters Damien "Black" Foulke, Maxwell "Max" Sirius and Ami Kaisen, all of who are a part of the PMC known as "Milites Sine Terminis" or MST for short. The XPF-01 was given the nickname of "Ripper" because during it's initial testing, the engines would be too powerful for the wings to handle and they would be ripped off the aircraft.

This specific build is the A variant of the aircraft, it is a less stealthy version of the aircraft with its weaponry being on the external of the aircraft, instead of being hidden in a weapons bay.

I will be working on more variants in the future, keep an eye out for them!

VTOL does nothing, ignore it.

Side note: I would like to say thank you to the friends who have supported me and assisted me in creating the Ripper, building the Ripper was very stressful at times. There were many times where I had made mistakes, made a small redesign or redesigned the entire plane as a whole. I had almost given up on creating this plane. Without those friends who have supported me, this project may have never seen the light of day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
