Red Dragon (SteadfastContracting Inspired Fighter)
After seeing the design performance of Steadfast Contracting’s “Red Gargoyle”, Squirrel Industries took an interest in creating their own variant. So Squirrel Industries got permission from @SteadfastContracting for their blueprints in order to create a suitable BVR variant for the Squirrel Industries Air Force (SIAF).
Extra requirements for the build included:
- VTOL capability
- High rate of climb and top speed
- A small undercarriage
- Increased cockpit visibility
This list of specifications meant the existing aircraft would have to be stripped down and rebuilt in order to fulfil these specifications, a larger wing area was also needed to compensate for the two VTOL engines. However, the same basic design was kept with a base flying wing design along with anhedral wings, a 4 x missile layout, 2 x laser light cannons and a low placed cockpit with fuselage running both above and below it.
Controls:
- Activator 1 for engine boost
Funnily enough, this is also a side project while I’m working on a Bomber! Anyway, until next time, happy flying!!
In case it wasn't clear enough, this was inspired by @SteadfastContracting. His aircraft are pretty unique and awesome. So I obviously strongly advise you check them out!
