Auto Credit Based on Kaiser7's [CLOSED] 50 PARTS OR LESS CHALLENGE
A light stealth concept fighter, designed to replace the F-16 as the backbone of national fighters. The aircraft was originally only a blueprint and technical files, but due to a leak, it was rushed into testing, resulting in it being a proof of concept platform. It is fit with a non afterburning engine, due to the intended powerplant not being made in time, which resulted in the Gryfalcon being limited to subsonic speed, and the fly by wire still has difficulty with minor pitch instabilities. Was put into combat testing as an escort to CAS aircraft, hiding from enemy RADAR using terrain masking and its low RCS for surprise attacks . With limited loadout, it never reached its full potential during combat tests.

Damn forgot to smooth fuselage blocks
@GriseoCattus A bit rushed, I capable of doing better
Decent plane
@Falco7 hope it all works out well!
@SkyJayTheFirst Thank m8. About the rudder. There is a scaled down rudder hidden within the fuselage hehe. And the missiles, I put them there so they where as far away from the fuselage as possible, because they have no pylon to reduce part count. When I had them near the fuselage, they blew me up on launch. It was 3am when I was finishing up and was too fatigue to continue on, resulting in the roll instability at low speed and low turn rate(and missile problems). I'm working on an improved version very similar to this, with a cockpit, canards, internal weapon bay and some degree of supermaneuverability. But that will be in about a month. I want to take my time with it.
Very beautiful flying wing! And surprisingly stable for not having a rudder. My only thing is, I think you should have the missiles closer to the center. When 1 is fired, due to the aircraft being very lightweight, it can kinda throw off the balance.
Also, if you use Overload, I recommend putting a roll rate for your ailerons to make it more stable at low speeds, thus easier to land.
@OculusWalker I'll do it again. . .
Our pilots tried dogfight with this one... Well, now CringeCore squadron needs new planes.
