YFX-58
Introduction
This build started as a request to transform an X-wing-style aircraft into a more traditional modern fighter. The original designer took inspiration from the F-35 and YF-23 to create this single-engine multirole aircraft. Over time, the design evolved through multiple rebuilds and refinements, resulting in a powerful and versatile combat plane.
The aircraft comes equipped with custom-designed JDAM-38 bombs, featuring visible smoke trails for tracking, and HARM air-to-ground missiles designed for anti-radiation missions. Its unique camouflage design resembles patterns often associated with conflict zones. Additionally, the plane is armed with a rotary cannon, enhancing its capability for both air-to-ground and air-to-air combat scenarios.
