Grumman F-14 Tomcat (swing wing + weapons)

270 BenTheGreat97  8.6 years ago

An evolution of my earlier Simple F-14 design, now with a swing wing and weapons!

Takeoff speed is 340mph due to the sheer weight of the extra components for the swing wing, but it can manage to take off from USS Tiny (turn a little to avoid hitting the tower).

Approach and landing speed is around 160mph. Swing wing controlled by VTOL and all weapons are on activator number 1.

With this plane, Ghost Rider is always cleared for a flyby.
