Before I say anything, big thanks to Moderator Squirrel for fixing it for me, I didn’t mention this in the teaser but when you tried to take off, it would yaw uncontrollably to the right, and it would be impossible to take off.

This here is the Armstrong Whitworth FK.10, which is, as far as I know, the only quadruplane fighter aircraft to ever serve in war. (Plz tell me if there are others, I’d love to make them too!)

The FK.10 was primarily a reconnaissance fighter, and really wasn’t that bad of an aircraft, despite it’s strange, but unique wing set up. As you can imagine, the FK.10 produced a LOT of lift from having four sets of wings, so it was very easy for it to take off. The hard part on the other hand, was landing, since if it started to stall, it dropped like a rock, which doesn’t really surprise me when it has four wings, their combined weight was probably rather heavy.

Controls: normal aircraft controls, AG-8 activates the main forward facing gun, and it activates the yaw controls. AG-1 activates the rear facing turret, be sure to deactivate AG-8 while using it though, you don’t want the yaw to mess up your aim.

I tried to make a somewhat detailed cockpit, although it’s not very good looking. It does have an artificial horizon though, but they’re pretty easy to make so I guess it really isn’t much.

I know there’s a lot of inaccuracies in my design here, for instance the real FK.10 had a top speed of about 80-90 mph, but just because I thought it’d be more fun, (and for adequate flight purposes) I’ve made it’s top speed about 180mph instead.

Much like my Sikorsky S-72 X-Wing, I’m pretty sure this is the first and only FK.10 on SimplePlanes, as I’ve never seen one of these before while on the website. If this isn’t the first, let me know, as the other one would likely be better than this one.

Anyway, I don’t really know what else to say, but yeah, have fun, and seriously, be careful landing this thing lol.
