F4X-B Archangel
Don't forget to spotlight ;)
Tis a pleasure to be back!
And with an aircraft that I find myself far more satisfied with than the last, which is really saying a lot. I've made a few trial-and-errors all around when making these stealth fighters, and I have received much inspiration and insight for my builds.
And now it is my utmost pleasure to present you with my current MAGNUM OPUS to date!
The F4X-B Archangel!
Now as you fly this aircraft, you'll soon figure out that she indeed bears many similarities to the StormHawk; her V-tail can move in many different directions, her main wings can sweep back, and she is ramjet-capable. So what makes her so special this time? Easy!
She can achieve speeds beyond Mach 4!
Her incredible ramjet engines give her the ability to reach speeds 4 times greater than that of sound at 60,000 feet above sea level! And thanks to her fuel efficiency at that altitude, she can travel faster and farther than the StormHawk ever could!
What else can she offer? Well for those who absolutely love to perform PSM maneuvers with a side of Yukikaze...
Her wings can move!
That's right, everyone! I personally took some inspiration from Yukikaze and the moving wings the show's titular fighter possesses to give the Archangel all the more ability to perform post-stall maneuvers! A nightmare for maintenance, but it's worth it! Right?
Just ask anyone who's ever worked on the F-35!
Speaking of the F-35...
She's also carrier-capable!
In spite of her size compared to most fighters, thanks to her sweepable wings and arrestor hook, she is very much capable of operating off of a carrier fleet! Later variants may come later where she's utilized as a strike aircraft, but for now, she's a dedicated air-superiority fighter!
And what better way to be one than with advanced weaponry? Care for more details?
The PAC-9000 Mark III
Yes, another particle accelerator cannon, my favorite kind. Now capable of being concealed in a weapons bay, assuming there's enough space for it. This cannon is extremely precise, and almost never misses its mark!
The AIM-X-20C Rapier
Similar air-to-air dogfighting missile as the last aircraft I made, but this time with major improvements to its range and agility!
But not quite as lethal as...
The AIM-X-360E ARGAAM!
Short for "Active-Radar-Guided Air-to-Air Missile". Medium range and hypersonic, this one requires you to maintain a lock on your target, just like the AIM-X-20. That sounds useless, right? WRONG!
Given that this missile possesses the same functions as the Guardian, that means that you can keep the ARGAAM heading right for your target even after they deploy countermeasures! And it gives you the ability to change a target within your range! Tactically speaking, this makes the ARGAAM an absolute nightmare to avoid!
And let's not forget, the Archangel also has an EOTS (Electro-Optical Targeting System).
And last but not least...
The Cockpit!
Ah, yes, so much visibility, so much situational awareness, and so many buttons! The bottom right of the cockpit shows an engine control panel for you to activate, as well as a variety of other buttons with their own individual functionalities.
That means she's VR-Capable!
And if you want the full instructions on every button available, then download the aircraft today and see them for yourselves!
In fact, try her out today! Because just like the Archangel she is, she will bless you with dominance in the sky!
Thank you @Erc90F4RU for the pictures!
Thank you @Ku for the RWR!

Don't ask me for a mobile friendly version, please! The way this aircraft is designed is meant to have a lot of cockpit parts, and if they're removed, certain functions and features would not work. Especially EOTS and the startup sequence for the engines.
I really hope Andrew Garrison sees this build!

Edit: AYO, HE DID!
@SkyJayTheFirst Nice song you released a while ago
potato chip
@SkyJayTheFirst thank you, by the way, you make a fantastic jet
@Dex89 I haven't played this game in a while and don't know when I'll even come back to it. But I will definitely make a CAS version when I get the chance.
Could you improve the hud? The signal to land on carrier feel fix, and another request, if you can make a CAS version
This aircraft is simply the best I ever seen in Simple Planes
@Zaineman no worries. Given how fast you've risen to platinum status and beyond, you must've spent a lot of time on here.
Hey bud really nice stuff. Sorry I'm a little late to the party I haven't been playing simple planes as much. Z
@MobileBuilder21 in fact, would you mind posting it as is and leave it unlisted and then tag me? I wanna see how you got those intricate shapes in and see if I can try and do that with my next build.
Nice
yummy
@SkyJayTheFirst Ok
@30 I assume you like it, then? Can't tell since I didn't notice your upvote on it.
Wow!

7 palabras ESENCIA🗿
@SkyJayTheFirst Oh, no problem. It is just a bit. my pleasure
@WinsWings thanks! And thank you for teaching me the right way to design colors for aircraft.
Nice,
@jamesPLANESii understood, will not tag you again unless you say you want me to. I apologize for the inconvenience.
