Note: This is probably the best aircraft I've made. I've worked on it for almost a month and now, it's done! So, I would proudly introduce to you the VF/A-24 SkyKnight.
The VF/A-24 SkyKnight is an all-weather, stealth 5th Gen multirole aircraft made for the Philippine Air Force and the 4th aircraft of the Mach-3 series, with its predecessors being the Alpha Striker, Python, and Hawkblade.
Its design is inspired by the F-22 Raptor, but it has its own stealth technology which has been developed by the Agila Aerospace Industries and Aerospace Designs, LTD. This technology relied on an efficient shaping of the craft and putting of radio-absorbent materials, thus making the cost lower than the F-22 Raptor and J-20 Dragon while attaining stealth characteristics similar to these 5th Generation Jet Fighters.
The SkyKnight is very agile and supermaneuverable, as it has undergone a supermaneuverability test in which it became suitable for the Cobra and Kulbit maneuvers, but it still remained a trick for the pilots on how to execute these high-G maneuvers. It can do sharp turns at high speed, making it a difficult fighter to take down. With its maximum speed at 3000 mph, high acceleration and high thrust-to-weight ratio with the aid of thrust vectoring, it can take off shortly in a carrier without any use of catapults.
It uses the EMPLOY Laser System which is also equipped earlier on the Hawkblade. As for the avionics, it uses the same fly-by-optics system and semi-AI computers, making it versatile in any weather. But unlike its predecessors, the SkyKnight is equipped with Multi-Target Identification AESA, which enabled it to gain AWACS abilities and Combat Communication System, which enabled 2 way communication without being affected by the jammers. Those systems makes the SkyKnight a formidable aircraft.
Unlike the Raptor which is made for air superiority only, the SkyKnight is made for multirole combats, and that includes interception, air superiority, ground attack, AWACS, and small scale bombing. It is also suitable for rescue operations as it has 2 more passenger seats.

@PaulJohnLozada Awesome ! But next time ..... See the part count....if u have internal bays , its okay....
@xenomdefrost How's this?
@Jarno62 Thanks for the complement, man.
I also noticed the plane won't load into the level for some reason. I would love to check it out.
Nice! I really love the description. I like that people take there time for this! 1 month of work on a plane is alot, and i know everything about it lol. Currently building a plane that takes me some time. Also an really nice design. Good work! And keep it up i wanna see more of you.
@PancakeAddiction Yeah, actually. Raptor's my favorite jet fighter.
Looks great! Did you take inspiration from the F-22??
@Texasfam04 Thanks. And I apologize if it didn't load for you.
Nice! I have no clue why but it wont load for me....but, its looks nice and looks like you put a lot of effort into it. good job
