A marvel of engineering, is the term that was used to describe the F-14 tomcat, with it’s variable swept wing design. The engineers at NIFE & Xtecs present to you the XTE-452, a one-of-a-kind stealth recon vehicle, capable of speeds exceeding mach 4, featuring a variable swept wing.
SPECS:
-Variable swept wings, capable of up to 55° when fully angled.
-3 XTN105 engines, each capable of up to 15,000lbs of thrust and over 3000km/h.
-19h of in game flight time at max.
-tri-shock system landing gear, with the right tools, making carrier landings faster and easier than on traditional aircraft.
OTHER INFO:
The XTE research program started back in 2004, with the XTE-422 being the first experimental plane made using the knowledge. The XTE-452 costs £1.96 billion, and was fully operational in 2023.
-275 have been made
-4 have been destroyed, due to pilot error, miscommunication and maintenance error.

@StrangeGameAYT Its weird that the engines are exploding for you, I just did a bit of testing after I moved the engines into the fuselages while using medium physics and it seems alright.
Also, the pitch surfaces on the swivel wings, put Invert to Yes and Trim to On so that they pitch correctly in relation to the tail wings.
Tail wings need to move up to pitch up, while canard or surfaces ahead of the COM have to move down to pitch up for example.
@Liensis its actually intentional, my physics has to be on medium otherwise my phone lags. Also the engines bugging into the fuselage causes it to explode randomly for me
You can use the Fine Tuner tool to hide those 3 engines better.
