ES-31 (5th Generation Heavy Fighter)
A fifth generation aircraft based off the ES-27 series. Although smaller than the ES-27 it does have better fuel efficiency... somehow. I'm not entirely sure why, since they use the same engines. Anyway, this is a personal favourite of mine to fly and will no doubt be improving it gradually through the series. Suggestions are welcome. As typically done by me now, the thrust vectoring system is engaged with the VTOL slider. Only move it up slightly though, as it can be also used as a "Ram jet" to further boost the speed to over 2000mph, which means that full VTOL slider while pulling high G turns can result in... let's just say slight dizziness. The next plane on the list is an interceptor, but until then, happy flying!
