L-16 E-2 "Stingray"
4,254 Lake
2.6 years ago
I can't stop looking at it's pure simple design!
Advatage:
Can go almost at mach 2
Flaws:
Quick fuel consumption due to afterburner.
automatically pitches up even though you are not touching the controls
Don't use autopilot it will go like "whigdzhfgiuhgusg" (that means crazy spinning).
Controls:
figure it out.
Cool facts:
Thanks to the afterburner's speed, It can travel to krakaloba in 1mins & 12 seconds when in wright airport, and 52 seconds when in the USS Beast 😲😲
Special thanks to:
@Walvis for the afterburner tutorial.

quick reminder:
Pls set the input of the VTOL engine to
throttle>0.97
.And set all the wings' airfoil to symmetrical.
I need help on fixing the automatic pitch even though I'm not holding the controls.
@Lake try change the main Wing's airfoil to Symmetric, btw Nice Build bro
@U you don't have to but can you do me a favor and check if my most recent plane (NIGHT HAWK) is realistic in some way
@Lake I didn't understand your question srry
the plane looks like a trainer, and trainers don't reach mach 4
@U That's way too fast. How did you do it?
And by the way, your plane reaches speeds much higher than mach 2, it exceeds mach 4, so the design of this plane is wrong
Sorry, this plane is one of the most unrealistic things I've ever seen, but I have to admit, it's a lot of fun.
@Stanmich
it flew at a very high altitude, plus it was a stupidly thin wing
he had wings just for gliding, and they weren't straight wings either, they were trapezoidal wings, which apparently can handle mach 1 at high altitude
EDIT: Trapezoidal wings SUPPORT speeds even faster than Delta wings, BUT it needs to be tiny to reach mach 2, look at the F-104, it has trapezoidal wings, but they are tiny! Your plane can handle mach 1 at high altitude, but it would NEVER handle mach 2 considering the size
And it's much more complex than that, it just scratches the surface, I recommend you research for yourself things like area rule or wing shape, supersonic flight is something much more difficult than it seems
I am currently editing your plane so that Mach 2 is realistic
@Lake for finer control over the wing's lift, switch the wings to Symmetrical, and slowly move the angle of attack of the wings up by half degrees as you try them. when the lift of the wing is too great, and it pitches up, nudge the angle down. if the wing's lift is too low, and it pitches down, nudge the angle down.
the REAL issue is the high aspect ratio of the wings; with no structure, wing flutter would be a major problem in real life.
@U Have U SEEEEEEN the X-1?
@Lake no, you don't understand, straight wings break anything faster than Mach 1.
it is physically impossible to a straight wing go Mach 1, now imagine Mach 2
They work best up to 900kph, if you want more speed use delta or swept wings
@U The only thing that helped the Stingray go mach 2 is the after burner.
@U aerodynamicists shitting their pants rn 😩😩
i wish i had those straight wings that go mach 2
