The F-41 Sea Kite is a 4++ generation fighter designed to be a versatile multi role platform to support a multitude of nations. The aircraft combines the benefits of a delta canard configuration with an extremely low wing loading to make it one of the most maneuverable aircraft ever developed. Due to its low speed capability (control under 85mph) the aircraft can also land on U.S Supercarriers without arresting equipment.

Pros:
- Versatile weapons configurations.
- Extremely maneuverable (even at altitudes excess of 30,000 ft).
- Carrier capable (Beast class aircraft carrier only).
- STOL capability.
- High payload quantity (6 air to air stores, 6 air to ground, 2 wet stores).

Cons:
- Unstable in certain weapon configurations.
- relatively slow (possible engine upgrade required).
- low range and fuel load.

In all serious please leave an upvote if you like it and if you have any suggestions at all please put them in the comments, I'd love to hear them. I may not be able to accomplish your needs depending on my activity on simpleplanes but I'll always try to give you guys what you want. Some more will be coming up after this so be prepared for that as well.

Enjoy the F-41 Sea Kite
