The XR-78 is a successor to the XR-76 multirole supersonic jet. Instead of a stacked detalwing with nose canard configuration, the XR-78 has a more conventional T Tail and short main wings, calling back to the F-108 Starfighter. The XR-78 is also capable of water landing and takeoff.
The XR-78 has two sets of engines, cruise engines controlled with Throttle, and supersonic engines controlled with VTOL slider. (Use the VTOL ones for water takeoff).
More fuel can be added to the central section of the fuselage for longer flights and very slightly reduced manueverability.
Trim 3/4ths down for takeoff. Adjust trim for cruise as needed. (Usually about 50% down)
This is supposed to be a successor to this plane and not an entry to my challenge, but I don’t know how to fix it :/
