Experimental Supersonic Interceptor III

75 L3m0nJu1ce  4.3 years ago

This was a heavily altered version of the XPSPRSNC-1 supersonic interceptor jet that I had developed, which proved to be structurally unstable for high speeds, if I were to increase the multiplier for the engines, the first thing to come loose would be the vertical stabilizer which I knew if I were to try to re-shape or remove and add a new vertical stablizer, it would not make a diffrerence. I thought about adding more wings to try to stabilize it and decided to change it's design completely by stripping the two of the three engines off of it and removing certain wings, making it a single-engined jet. I added different wings to try to make it stable, almost similar to a missile. I modified the engine scale making it shorter, and the multiplier by 15 to maximize it's speed (almsot mach 4.0), exceleration, and flight performance. I did not add landing gears up until now, I added airbrakes, an arrestor hook (emergency landings only), and a parachute (WIP)
