Name: BAe Puffin
Type: Personal Concept
Attempt #: 1
Falkenwut Generation Build: 2? 7?!

I present to you, the BAe Puffin; a VTOL project I've been working on for a while.

What originally was meant to be a VTOL air-superiority strike fighter, designed as a mix between the PZL-230 and the harrier, accidentally came to resemble the Harrier P.1214 model.

Part of the challenge to make this plane is that I have not used any XML edits to make this plane - Purely ingame parts, without any modifications, including the cockpit.

I could not decide on a realistic loadout so I released it empty for you to decide what in-game weapons to give it.

Hope you enjoy the build. It's a pretty interesting design that I wish to build on and improve along side my custom designs.
