I'm proud to present this airplane! It needed some hours to complete. As I love variable sweep wings airplanes, I had to create one: it is, once again, inspired by some real world aircraft, but is fictional.
This time, I've also add realistic lights (group 1: navigation lights; group 2: aft light; group 3: anti collision lights; group 4: landing lights). Use VTOL to change geometry! It has good acceleration capacities, and is kinda maneuverable.
PS: it can easily take-off from both USS Tiny and USS Beast carriers.

This plane is frickin cool mach in a 40° climb insane
I suppose. @Vinceinovich
@Jpeggers In some case that's absolutely necessary, if I take the exemple of the engine, if I didnt overpowered it, the plane could not go above 700 mph, and that's really sad :p
Nice. I personally don't use modding because in some cases it feels to overpowering compared to vanilla parts. But that opinion may change in future:)@Vinceinovich
@Jpeggers Yea, I used techniques that the community have taught me during the past 2 days, it includes intake scale, afterburner color, engine power, and some little things.
Is this your first modded plane?
Good to know, thanks! @Vinceinovich
@TrainDude Ye I saw that yesterday :p And thanks :)
@Jpeggers Thanks! To be honest that's not the first variable-sweep-wings I made, and I didnt have so much problem building this one, mainly because I was inspired by the Orion Star jet I released some days ago.
I recently made an aircraft with sweeping wings. It was quite a challenge getting decent performance. Was it for you? P.S great aircraft!
