Intro

The Switcorp GR-9 was originally designed in the year 2007. It is a multirole, potentially carrier based jet. The plane was intended to be a modernized hybrid between the F-8 Crusader and the Sepecat Jaguar. In 2009, the USAF ordered its first GR-9s. It is currently the only variable incidence wing fighter in service with the USAF.

Notes From the Designer

• When landing on carrier, be sure to come in almost level with the deck and as close to stall speed as possible

• Wings automatically lock in place when VTOL is at zero, so make sure it gets there before high speed flying

• Don't put VTOL down
