"a winged two-legged dragon with a barbed tail."
-Definition from google search
In the late 1980s, the Federal Erusian Navy issued a request for the development of a new combat aircraft that could also be used by the Air Force. Preliminary blueprints of the new jet, named the "X-02A", were completed by late February 1987, and its maiden flight took place in 1998 following a delay due to unspecified problems. By the end of the nineties, the existence of the Wyvern was already known by Erusea's neighboring nations. Knowing the EASA's plan, some of them decided to produce their own indigenous designs.
I remade the X-02 Wyvern for the 1.3 update! It has got missiles and machine guns, but more importantly, I've increased it's maneuverability by changing up the CoM, and it also has an extra pitch VTOL nozzles in the nose.
VTOL for functioning the switchblade and up and down of the vert stabilizer.
pitch, roll, yaw are obvious.
Have fun!

Still pretty awesome to me! Can't wait for the next one!
@Austinowen Thanks! there are still a few things that need to be added, such as weapons bays on the intake area, but meh, not the worst thing in the world.
This planes ridiculously cool
@SyntaxError Well, Andrew has answered that, I think

@NovaTopaz Is there a link I can download the new update without steam?
@SyntaxError Honestly, I don't know if you need steam. And no, there is no blocks which create lift. Mostly the update contains weapons, more challenges, and AI. basically, look at release notes for what it contains.
Also do you need steam for the update?
@NovaTopaz no I mean blocks create lift
@SyntaxError ? What? If you mean the stand off dispensers, no, unfortunately. You could make it so by using a rocket launcher instead of a missile in the middle. Also, this still needs weapon doors on the aircraft.
Are there helium canisters?
... Hmm... probably should have considered that a large portion of the people who upvoted my aircraft were mobile users....

@NewAir Thanks!
Also, All the upgrades on the aircraft will be made down for the 1.2 update when I get the time.
