VF/A-24 SkyKnight (Version 1.5)
Note: I've remade the SkyKnight after 5 months. Now it has new features as follows:
1. Guns moved into the fuselage(which made the guns built-in)
2. More stable airframe
3. Redesigned wings
4. Countermeasures Dispenser Added
5. The Philippine Flag near the intake(credits to the real owner)
The VF/A-24 SkyKnight is an all-weather, stealth 5th Gen multirole aircraft made for the Philippine Air Force and the 4th aircraft of the Mach-3 series, with its predecessors being the Alpha Striker, Python, and Hawkblade.
Its design is inspired by the F-22 Raptor, but it has its own stealth technology which has been developed by the Agila Aerospace Industries and Aerospace Designs, LTD. This technology relied on an efficient shaping of the craft and putting of radio-absorbent materials, thus making the cost lower than the F-22 Raptor and J-20 Dragon while attaining stealth characteristics similar to these 5th Generation Jet Fighters. The SkyKnight is very agile and supermaneuverable, as it has undergone a supermaneuverability test in which it became suitable for the Cobra and Kulbit maneuvers, but it still remained a trick for the pilots on how to execute these high-G maneuvers. It can do sharp turns at high speed, making it a difficult fighter to take down. With its maximum speed at 3000 mph, high acceleration and high thrust-to-weight ratio with the aid of thrust vectoring, it can take off shortly in a carrier without any use of catapults.
It uses the EMPLOY Laser System which is also equipped earlier on the Hawkblade. As for the avionics, it uses the same fly-by-optics system and semi-AI computers, making it versatile in any weather. But unlike its predecessors, the SkyKnight is equipped with Multi-Target Identification AESA, which enabled it to gain AWACS abilities and Combat Communication System, which enabled 2 way communication without being affected by the jammers. Those systems makes the SkyKnight a formidable aircraft.
Unlike the Raptor which is made for air superiority only, the SkyKnight is made for multirole combats, and that includes interception, air superiority, ground attack, AWACS, and small scale bombing. It is also suitable for rescue operations as it has 2 more passenger seats.

@xenomdefrost I've made a revamp on this....
@ZHUAREVONI Thanks. I've managed to give it a rework after my cousin allowed me to download SimplePlanes in his computer.
cool design i like that rounded wings
