Auto Credit Based on Stingray's Next Gen Supersonic Trainer Jet
Artists concept of color scheme for the Naval version of the Boeing full production (F-32) based on the X-32A Prototype. Version 1 of this model for me: Simple model, simple flight control, enjoy flying!

3,096 WWIIPlaneBuilderLol... 'Tis ugly... But Boeing hadn't made a jet fighter and this was a good effort, one of the only reasons they were chosen to compete is because the bought Northtrop Grumman...@Stingray9.6 years ago

50.4k StingrayI've gotten several comments that the X-32 is ugly, well that's the X-32. If you want "nice looks" there are hundreds of F-35s on SP. However, realize that despite looks both planes had the same required performance during the JSF competition. Both were VTOL, both were supersonic during prototyping. Currently, the F-35 VTOL system is not trusted by buyers, they are ordering the fast-fly version.9.6 years ago

50.4k StingrayGot it, thanks I need input that helps all! @WWIIPlaneBuilder9.6 years ago

3,096 WWIIPlaneBuilderI know, I did.... And it is not a critism, just saying you did a great job with what you had (in an unclear way) @Stingray9.6 years ago

50.4k StingrayThe prototype X-32A was a Mach 2 aircraft, and a limited SP box front end would kill the models performance, so I made a decision based on performance. This model goes 1,100 MPH+ so test fly it before you criticize, please.@WWIIPlaneBuilder9.6 years ago

3,096 WWIIPlaneBuilderI have watched heaps of documentaries on this intense battle... It seems that the X32 is hard to make on SP due to that ugly mouth on the front of it... But, while in theory it worked, they had heaps of problems with it... You have seemed to have eradicated this problems in your model, but we really need to get a larger intake to really show the ugliness of this aircraft.9.6 years ago

50.4k StingrayNote: the X-32 competed with the F-35 for the JSF role. Speed, performance, and stealth were quite similar. A future model of the X-32 should incorporate its Harrier-like VTOL features, at which it excelled in field tests.9.6 years ago
