The Cloud Shark is the newest addition to the Kingcraft fleet. Its legacy perfected through millions of years of evolution results in this sleek-bodied killer of a jet racer. Its belly-mounted turbojet engine packs an enourmous amount of punch considering its size and will be sure to satisfy all of your flying desires.
Background aside, this is the very first of a planned series of Cloud Shark revisions. I will need YOUR FEEDBACK to revise and perfect the design in hopes of one day having made the best, most well rounded jet-powered racing aircraft on the simpleplanes website.
YOU will be the judges and executioners of this project so be sure to COMMENT down below your IDEAS and SUGGESTIONS as well as LIKE the project so others may see it and give their opinions as well.
Have fun flying and I look forward to working with all of you!

@Apehorse19 been working to make it lighter to fix those so yeah
@ShrimpRex might not be what you want to do but slower, turnier and lighter
@Treadmill103 @Windwaker5000 Thank you both, I will take that into consideration. I was actually planning on making the wings super thin and just cover them with fuselage to make it look like a proper wing with profile and all. Only problem are the leading edge ailerons but I'll try
@ShrimpRex I don't really have any, it's fun and smooth and runs well on mobile, good for when taking the bus
Hey @Treadmill103, @FishMiner and @Windwaker5000 don't mean to bother you but do you have any feedback regarding the plane? As stated in the description I want to make revisions of the aircraft based on community suggestions
@Apehorse19 Well since you’re here, would you like to suggest some form of change? How can I make this plane better? Better styling or handling characteristics?
@ShrimpRex looks and flies cool
@Apehorse19 Well it's really a mix of many different planes. The idea of a belly mounted jet came from the Yak-15, the side intakes derived from the F-104 Starfighter and the overall sharky nature from the Aero Shark Light Sport
Don't know where this plane is from but it looks and flies cool
