The A3 was the replacement for the AJ Savage. Became the largest carrier-borne aircraft to date. Nicknamed "The Whale". Original design was as a strategic nuclear bomber, and then reformatted as an electronice warfare platform. With this representaion, I was aiming for a later model that has a cabin for personnel in lieu of a bombay. As the real deal is a carrier-based plane, you'd better believe this baby can take off from the USS Beast. Air brakes included for if you attempt a carrier landing. Please let me know if you have any ideas for improvements, and enjoy your flight!!!

HEY, NICE BUILD! My boss used to be part of the crew on one of these things back in the 80's when they were used for electronic intelligence gathering. He said it was pretty freaky landing on a carrier in something this huge. I'm a big fan of the engineer that headed up the design team for this plane, check him out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Heinemann

Looks really good. But it seems that wings swept angle is somewhat more than of the real one.
