Auto Credit Based on SchadeAircaftCompany's Carrier Borne Aircraft Challenge (Try 2) CLOSED
Fictional interceptor/intruder from the late cold war period designed to fly off the decks of the carries loaned/leased/sold by Alied powers in the late 1940's/50's/60's. The primary purpose is as a ship killer for which two cleaver missiles are carried internally, four inferno missiles are stowed externally.

An interesting concept with the opening bomb bay for the cleavers, and the unique design of it is also really cool, although the wings folding with the brakes is kinda weird, and if AG1 is on while landing and trying to slow down, the wings accidentally folding is hard to recover from, and the 0-100 taxiing speed is also difficult to use at first. But overall a cool and interesting design
