Saab J 35F Draken

8,578 Synthex4060  8.3 years ago

NEW VERSION : https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/nFyfW2/Saab-J-35F-Draken

Doing a bit of research, I stumbled upon Swedish made jets, and was quite impressed by some of their unusual, yet fonctionnal designs. I decided to give a try to the Draken; I find the idea of turning the inlets into flying bodies merged into the wing quite elegant, so while some builders already did this model, I wanted to pay particular attention to this part. I also tried to respect proportions in size and weight. As a result the wheels are a bit too small, and I had to edit the XML file to get the engine power matching.
-2 : missiles
-3 : rockets
-6 : drop all armament
-7 : drop extra fuel tanks

Have fun !

    Hi all and thanks again for all these nice comments and votes. With the new air intakes available I could make that thing even nicer :

    Noice! To make the inlets flow better into the wing, extend the part that connects the inlets to the wings, make the length 5 and the height 0 that way there is no overhang, other than that, nailed this plane dude!
