Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's Area88Challenge

With the turn of the new millennium right around the corner, the need for swift, medium-range multi role aircraft had come. Various design elements have proven their superiority at this point, but to add as many of them together as possible was yet to be done in any significant manner.

Thus a new bird of prey was born once Bluejay Aerodynamics took one look at the Eurofighter and thought; 'What can we do better?'

The baseline of the F-30 was designed and first flew in the year 2000, a platform with incredible weight capabilities of an attacker, the agility, advanced radar, and size of a light fighter, and the speed of the twin-engine monsters that roamed the skies.

AIRGROUPS:
1 for Hook
7 for Lights

Note: I recognize this doesn't exactly fit all the criteria of the Area 88 challenge, but I figured I'd throw this in for funsies anyways. I'll never actually get it fully finished, having been "completed" and shelved for months upon months now, but I threw on a few modifications, saw the challenge that fit it's nature, and said 'screw it'. It's currently a simple yet fully functional design that doesn't need xml trickery to kick ass and take names, and one of the few planes I'm actually happy with. If anyone wants to take this (or any of my other craft) and use for their own designs and challenges, feel free!

Have fun ya'll, and don't expect me to post anything else for a while. <3

    Really cool looking, but consider adding wing panels to make it look like it exists as a real jet too.

    Pretty neat jet! The canards are a little odd but it is unique. Overall it had a nice shape to it and nice art on the tail too!
