HELLO
The beautiful (and famous for being bad) Gloster Javelin ! I did my best to make this plane as good looking as in real life and with good flight caracteristics, and I think I did it pretty well ! :D
Activate1 for the afterburner and maaaax speeeeed (this plane can't even reach Mach 1)
Trim for the Trim
VTOL for the flaps
Little page of history :
The Gloster Javelin is a twin-engined T-tailed delta-wing subsonic night and all-weather interceptor aircraft that served with Britain's Royal Air Force from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. The last aircraft design to bear the Gloster name, it was introduced in 1956 after a lengthy development period and received several upgrades during its lifetime to its engines, radar and weapons, which included the De Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missile.

If you are talking about technology, the Javelin was not the best at the time. I might have misunderstood.
@TheAviator77 also I saw that you like detailed planes, you can check my profile out, I'm into realism a lot
@TheAviator77 I was with a friend joking around, it's a bad plane compared to what other countrys and even england could produce at the same time, still I don't why but I really love the look of this plane
Why
@TheAviator77 lâche moi la grappe
Why do you think that the Gloster Javelin is bad?
@DanDaFreakinMan Yeah this plane really doesn't looks like a fighter. The lag may be because of the drag points and it's an old build, I know there are a lot of defaults on it. At the time I wasn't as good as now for making decent landing gears.
Looks and flies great! I really like the look of Javelin. I keep thinking it's a bomber for some reasons. Despite being around 500 parts, this thing lags me quite a bit though. Also its landing are weak and will break if you land a bit too rough
@KnightOfRen yes it is
Thicc boi.
@Destroyerz117 just rip them of
no folding wings 0/10
@Diloph you may be right, and thanks !
I’m pretty sure the rudder had a trim on top to prevent the elevator from smacking it in -G pitch, but it is amazing otherwize!
@ollielebanania a very nice plane indeed.
@50CalChicken Thanks
Nice!
@asteroidbook345 yeah and I don't know why this plane isn't more famous because I find it beautiful, and thanks by the way :)
@LOTUS ahah thanks
very bon
Pretty much lol. @ollielebanania
@Alta2809 Oh this is a funny fact, so this plane could go supersonic only when the pilot isn't a pilot, why not
Fun fact, this plane did go super sonic whilst the pilot wasn’t at the controls and was focused on an oxygen supply failure!
@AzureCorp oh yeah I was !
(weren't you in that multiplayer session?)
