Nobunaga - Stealth Design

1,580 Pajamas720  4.4 years ago

You thought it was an original design, but its just a bootleg Nosferatu.
Jokes aside, I took that one plane that I re-post a lot in slightly different variants, and make a "stealthy" variant of it. I wanted to see what it would take/ what it looks like to give the Nobunaga stealth properties, and after several hours of building, test flying and tweaking, it uhh... it flies at least.

Controls:
Activate 8: Hide/ Show Weapons (shown by default)

Notes:
- Simpleplanes doesn't simulate stealth properties of aircraft, at least to my knowledge. I also have next to no knowledge on stealth technology or principles, so I have no idea how stealthy this plane would be in real life.
-I know the canards will hurt stealth, but I designed them to have as small impact on stealth as possible in its wing design. Also the canards just... make the plane look good to me lol.
-If you add your own weapons for the retractable attach points, use as few parts as possible (preferably just the weapon part), use missiles, rocket pods or small bombs; and set the weapon to armed group 8. alternately, disable aircraft collisions in XML/ Overload.
