I have quite the affinity towards carrier based aircraft, and even though I enjoy making my own, I want to see what other people can make. Requirements are as follows: must have a tailhook, a folding wing mechanism, and some kind of armament. whether you choose prop or jet designs it's up to you, either can win. Designs will be judged on the ability to take off and land on the carrier, the creativity of the design, and obviously the handling. Please only 1 aircraft per person, good luck and hope to see some awesome planes!

Well after careful considerations, the winner of the challenge has to be @Cabbage17, his design of an early radar warning aircraft was not only unique, but it’s beautiful flying characteristics and easy landing on the carrier is exactly what I was looking for. Every entry was great, but congrats to Cabbage for an excellent design
The challenge will be coming to an end soon, @winterro @Cabbage17 if you want to get your aircraft in you have only a little time left, at 00:00 EST on March 3, aka end of tomorrow, I’ll close it down. I have only 1 entry in so far and would really enjoy seeing a lot more cool creations by everyone
The deadline is TBD, but I want everyone to get a chance to make their best, so I’ll close it when I feel confident in everyone’s submission
Is it finished yet?
@SchadeAircaftCompany thanks!
It’s definitely an interesting concept of the rotating wing design, it’s pretty cool@TheBruh007
@SchadeAircaftCompany it’s my latest one,see on my profile.
Finished
Well I’m not closing the challenge for a little bit of time so you got time@TheBruh007
@SchadeAircaftCompany oh it’s ok.For now I’m busy studying,so sorry I can’t do it now 😕
I guess you got confused as well, it’s supposed to be an aircraft that’s use on a carrier, I’m sorry for the confusion @winterro
It’s ok, you can submit a new one that’s actually an aircraft @TheBruh007
@SchadeAircaftCompany oof.

Oh it’s supposed to be an aircraft built for the carrier lol@TheBruh007
Did it.Mine’s horrible,I’m warning you.
Hmmm, well my biases toward hating being around them in real life shouldn’t affect the challenge, so go ahead, the armament requirement for that will be ignored @Cabbage17
Am i allowed to build something other than a fighter jet, like an airborne early warning and control aircraft? @SchadeAircaftCompany
As long as it’s got those 3 requirements and it’s your own design you can use what ever you like@Cabbage17
Can we use XML?
