Douglas F6D Missileer

45.5k Sgtk  7.6 years ago

The F6D was a proposed carrier based missile defense aircraft. Based on the F3D, this subsonic plane would have had anti-air missiles with a range of 100mi. However, due to the planes low speed, low manueverability, and no defensive armament, the project was scrapped. This model includes folding wings as most carrier planes do. AG-1 and VTOL all the way up for storage mode. AG-2 and VTOL down will lower the landing tailhook. Let me know if you have any thoughts for improvements or feedback. Thank you for looking, and enjoy your flight!

    @BogdanX Flies okay if you feather it. Also, i did some testing and some extra fuel/weight in the fuselage block under the canopy improves performance tremendously. Thank you for the upvote and the feedback!
