P-51-XJ2
During the end years of WWII, jet engines became increasingly available. UK Ministry of Defense ordered to fit their jets into the famous American P51 fighters in RAF service as a backup plane for Gloster Meteor project. UK obtain many P51s according to the US government's land lease program at that time. This version was fitted with Roll Royce NeNe-46 engines and was called P51-J. The contract was given to Win's Wings Design bureau for conversion from Piston engine to Jet. Only one prototype was produced.
Unlike original P-51D, with the help of jet engine, it top speed is about 500mph (800 kmh) at altitude of 40,000 ft (12,000 meters). The dive speed could be much higher - up to 650mph.
*Fictional - build based on Jondroo's P51-D

@WinsWings Well your SU-17 is preety good. But mine uses normal rotators no hinges. I posted the current project as unlisted and imma send you the link so you can check it. if you can hurry a lil bit it'l be good cuz i just have half an hour to use SP cuz i have to leave by around 6pm here. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/bWcSrp/WinsWings-pls-help-me
@WinsWings ok imma try
@BRNavyPilot Download my SU-17 which I used the WIngSweep function at this link - Su-17-with-Automatic-Sweeping-Wings and compare what was the mistake in your build. I hope you could figure it out
@WinsWings well i set the rotator for rotating the wings on my plane, as i want its wings to be sweepable. the variable is called WingSweep, and i set the 2 rotators of the 1st wing to WingSweep cuz i prefer editing the inputs of all rotators at once so i dont need to do it separately 2 times and later on 4 times. But whenever i change the rotator input to WingSweep its stops working, but i set it to simply Trim it works just fine. And if i set the WingSweep variable to Trim it doesnt.
@BRNavyPilot it is case sensitive. Check if you spell such as “Pitch” or ‘’pitch’’
Bro do you know why rotators may stop working when you set their input to the name of a variable? its happening to me idk why
meanwhile the Meredith effect scoop cries in the hanger
F-51 Sabre
@WinsWings np!
@AGenericPlaneCreater thanks for the 100th Vote!
@DJW730 lol.
I had a toy p-51 that I broke the propeller off, and pretended it was a jet. This is literally what I had in mind
I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful planes I've ever seen!
@WinsWings I want you to see this
@Falkenwut Call it T-33
@BeastHunter thanks my friend - now this plane becomes the top 2 of the other 460+ successors of the original P51D with almost 3000 downloads in 9 days
@Falkenwut well, Saber was well designed jet fighter - with a real jet cockpit, with a shorter nose since there is no need space for the long piston engine before the pilot. Thank you so much
Very good design!
I'd only sweep the wings back, and call it a Saber.. Wait a minute...
@ItsRuifioYT Thank you!
I’m from Manchester so I’m happy -Made a new acc just to say that o_0
@420IsMyGod nice.
I am in the process of turning this into a doomsday version may have to get a mod to set it to Successor if I upload it
With extreme disdain
"Yak-15P"
@Rebelleader27 interested. I will try
