30.1k Rondine  4.3 years ago

The EU.M.A.CO F26 Modello N°2 was a supersonic Ground support aircraft and a fighter built in the late 50s.
It was part of the G.S.S.G Project(Ground Support Supersonic Fighter)

It was powered by two Fiat RD 6(they don't exist) which could propel it to 780 mph at its operational height(23000 ft).

It had 4 7.62 mm (ag3) machine guns and 1 20mm minigun(ag4 to arm it, ag5 to detach it) (which was produced by Beretta following American industry instructions)

It was used in the 11th squadron "Gufi" (owls)
From 1961 to 1978. This one was the first italian F26 and has the "Ala dell'unità",which was painted Green, white and red. (unity wing, to celebrate the Italian unification.)

Instructions :

Takeoff :

Vtol all up(flaps)

throttle at 100 %

it will pull up at 100 mph(bc of the flaps)

Landing :

Throttle at 20%

Flaps full when needed.

pitch up if needed

Attack:

Just like a dive bomber, climb to at least 20000 ft and pitch down to the target with 0% throttle (use brakes if needed)

Use either bombs, rockets or guns(ag3 and ag4)

Hope you like it!
i spent 5 days building this, i was going to build a piston fighter, but it was heavy, underpowered and not that agile...
soooo.... i built a jet fighter

    Ehi @Memri se vuoi un consiglio secondo me i rotatori per il carrello di atterraggio andrebbero messi in modo che non siano visibili da sopra l'ala, perché così è antiestetico e non aereodinamico a mio parere
