Thunder is the unique super hornet with very high perfomance.

Design:
Its wings are designed to provide maximum stability flights. With 12 control surfaces along with the X-style wing-design we can reach the rapid turning in high speeds. The airplane is painted in silver, black and white

Power:
Thunder uses 5 VTOL-engines, which can reach you up to 1250 - 1300 mph when flying horizontal and 1400 - 1500 mph in vertical (diving). VTOL engines also help in reversing, when flying very high. The power/weight ratio is prodigious 4011 and drag points only 2205.

Reducing the drag:
It's possible to detach VTOL-engines in side wings. This reduces drag points from 2205 to 1526 (with landing gear). Hopefully you dont fly with landing gear on, because it reduces drag points from 1526 to 1139 (if VTOL's detached) If you are using all engines, the points after hiding the landing gear are 1760.

So.. to get this more clear, maybe the text below helps you:

2205 (drag points)
1760 (landing gear hided)
1526 (after VTOL's detached, landing gear on)
1139 (after VTOL's detached, landig gear hided)

Stable graphics settings:
Graphics Quality: High
Shadow Quality: Off
Terrain Quality: Low
Water Quality: Medium

I recommend to test yourself to get best perfomance, and use at le east medium graphics, if you can't get it stable.

If you read the whole text, now you understand why it is called Super Hornet. Download, rate and comment. I answer all the questions.

THANKS TO Allotmentman for elongated nose cone! I really needed it to this project.

    @TheGorgeousMina And actually, maybe this plane is still little bit too slow, you're right. I should try to get more power to it. Any ideas how to get these kind of wings stabilized if I try to add few VTOL's or other engines to it?
