F-37A Wildcat 2

3,263 Thund3rb0lt10  1.2 years ago

NEW AND IMPROVED- the F-37A takes the airframe of the YF-37 and completely rebuilt it from the ground up to be a superior fighting machine.

Changes from the original:
-Larger control surfaces for better stability and turn performance
-Redesigned intakes, allowing for less drag while maintaining effective airflow
-Repositioned hardpoints under fuselage
-Additional drop-tanks
-Cannon moved from under the fuselage to inside the nose for reduced drag
-Increased power of engines by 10%
-Completely re-engineered cockpit, now with functional MFD and semi-functional HUD (Speed,Altitude,Gs are displayed + a gun sight reticle that stays in place)
-Cool paint job

CONTROLS
-AG1-Chute
-AG2-Drop Tanks
-AG3-Formation Lights
-AG4-Nav Lights
-AG5-Arresting Hook
-AG6-Canopy Open/Close

Thanks for checking out my plane, this one was fun to create from the prototype (YF-37) to now, I'm still learning new things each time and want to keep innovating, hopefully some new stuff coming soon with the help of some mods and a lot of google search

    @TWDDerSharkmarine wow you’re right, I didn’t realize myself until I saw the specs and the length only being 10m, which is just half that of an F/a-18
    (I’ve also learned how to use camera angles well haha)
