This is my take on the famous English Electric Lightning designed by BAE Systems in the UK. This was Britain's first fighter-jet capable of reaching Mach 2. In order the have the required amount if speed, I have used four engines at the rear instead of two. Group 1 activates the engines, Group 2 activates the landing parachute, Group 7 activates the AAM's (4 interceptors) and Group 8 enables and dissables the Gyroscope. The gyroscope helps this aircraft remain steady in level flight, I reccomend you turn the gyroscope OFF when performing sustained turns. If there is anyway that the instability problem could be fixed without a gyroscope, please tell me in the comments, thank you.
