Max speed: 350 mph at Sea Level (S.L.), 560 mph at 25,000'. Service ceiling: 40,000'. Approach speed: 130 mph. Northern Aircraft Corporation (NAC) designed an all-weather interceptor around two of the early Blasto J-10 turbojet engines available at the dawn of the jet age. Taking a conservative layout with a broad chord, but thin, straight wing, the jet extracts maximum performance at higher altitudes from its relatively low-powered engines.

    @Theflyingauzzie, thanks for the approval. It WAS inspired by both the F-89 and the C101 Canuck, but it's neither, so hence the fictional name and background for a fictional plane. Almost all my airplanes are that way, the closest to real life is probably my "F-501 Lightningchief", inspired by the F-105 Thunderchief.
