General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark
Info
Takeoff Speed: 130 kts
Stall Speed: 110 kts (With The Wing angle at minimum)
Max Speed: 545+ kts (In the game)
Controls and Activation
Vtol Down - Flaps
Trim Up - Wing Sweep
Normal Controls
Ag1- Thrust Vectoring
Features
Thrust Vectoring
Custom Landing Gear
Adjustable Wing Sweep
Note:
- If you want to fly faster with this plane go above 20,000ft because the air is thinner your airspeed is slower but the ground speed is sigificanly higher
- Fly with Medium or High physics because of the high weight of this aircraft the main landing gear collapses with low physics
- This plane has some wierd stall charecteristic when the wing swept angle is on max "55°"
- When using the thrust vectoring:
If you are on mobile just be suddle on the controls
If you are on PC just tap the "W" and "S" keys
This prevents the aircraft from stalling when the wing angle is set on max or at low speeds
From Wiki
The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark is a retired American supersonic, medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber, aerial reconnaissance, and electronic-warfare aircraft in its various versions. The word "aardvark" is Afrikaans for "earth pig" and reflects the look of the long nose of the aircraft that might remind one of the nose of the aardvark. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, it entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also ordered the type and began operating F-111Cs in 1973.
The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. The F-111 suffered a variety of problems during initial development. Several of its intended roles, such as an aircraft carrier-based naval interceptor with the F-111B, failed to materialize.
USAF F-111s were retired during the 1990s with the F-111Fs in 1996 and EF-111s in 1998. The F-111 was replaced in USAF service by the F-15E Strike Eagle for medium-range precision strike missions, while the supersonic bomber role has been assumed by the B-1B Lancer. The RAAF was the last operator of the F-111, with its aircraft serving until December 2010.
ENJOY FLYING!

The Landing Gear is a little bit floppy so I recommend flying this on medium or high physics
Time for the grade
Design: 8/10, looks quite accurate
Performance: 5/10, fun to fly but the performance is abysmal. Feels more like an SU-27 with the engines of an SR-71 than an F-111.
Quality: 8/10, amazing landing gear!
Presentation: 10/10
Overall: 8/10, epic build!
@10 idgaf how many upvotes it has, this is a great craft right here, one of the better entries actually
@10 who cares if I lose the challenge. I only joined the challenge just for fun and stopp discriminating my builds.
u might not win there is a build with 50 upvot
Looks ok but performance wise it’s not realistic at all. If you wish to make better planes that are more realistic I will link you to a helpful guide by my friend krmo
You’re welcome, I argued that the F-111 was a fighter jet so now you can actually submit this lmao
@KnightOfRen here is the plane for your challenge
