This is my latest aircraft design. The BumbleBee is a jet powered light attack aircraft. The design of this aircraft contains elements of the Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros.
The aircraft can fly at speeds over 400 mph. 380mph can be sustained at low level.
The aircraft is fitted with a variety of weapons:
AIR-GROUND
- 3 Boom 25s
- 2 rocket pods, plus two extra unguided rockets.
- 2 Inferno guided missiles
AIR-AIR
- 2 Guardian Missiles
GUNS
- 2 fuselage mounted wing guns
OTHER
- 4 countermeasure dispensers
The aircraft is also fitted with flaps, which are operated by the VTOL slider.
The stable flying characteristics of this aircraft also make it suitable for training purposes.

@Jdgetz2004 I'll make an actual replica of the L-39 before I do that. This isn't a replica. Thanks for the livery suggestion!
I love it you should try to make the Baltic bees design
@ThePilotDude will do. Will upload it when ready.
@ThePilotDude I didn't design this as an entry for any challenge. Indeed, I only discovered mikoyanster's challenge a couple of days ago, just before I uploaded the aircraft.
Also, it's not a light fighter, it's a light attack aircraft. There's a difference. It hasn't been designed for air to air engagements, although it does possess two Guardian AAMs for defensive purposes. I could create a fighter variant though. I would just need to change the weapons.
Disk east grade! Berry naaaise!
Great job!
Very nice! I really like how simple it is.

@Alpha029 Thanks! Also, it's stability, not stableness. :)
