Your Challenge:

The Saltwater Air Force requires a new strike aircraft to replace the venerable Osprey II. It must be able to operate off the Vengeance-class aircraft cruisers currently in service, and so must be VTOL. The aircraft must also have a good armament and range to fulfil its task. One of the major problems with the Osprey II is its slow speed, and therefore your aircraft must be capable of 700 mph at sea level.

An Osprey II flying from the aircraft carrier SWS Atlantis closes up to an S-3 Viking tanker.
.

The Ten Requirements:

1. The aircraft must be a successor to this
   post and only one entry is allowed per person.
2. It must be capable of VTOL flight.
3. It must have at least seven weapons
   hardpoints, if not more.
4. It must be able to fly from Sky Park City to
   Snowstone on 50% fuel.
5. It must be able to fly at least 700 mph at sea
   level.
6. It must have good manoeuvrablity.
7. It must be a fictional 4.5 generation strike fighter.
8. No mods allowed, other than Overload, FineTuner and
   DesignerSuite.
9. Maximum part count is 400.
10. Minimum part count is 100.
    .
    If your aircraft doesn't fit these rules you will be disqualified or be issued with a penalty during scoring.

You will be judged on payload, speed, hovering ability, manoeuvrablity and looks, with a maximum of 50 points.
