SGAP-01 "Able"
"What could go wrong with letting an A.I. take control of a plane?" — The lead developer of the KFZ-7.
The SGAP or Seventh Generation Aircraft Program was made in need of a new aircraft that can fight other seventh generation aircraft and conduct close air support.
The very first aircraft, named as KFZ-7 and them renamed as SGAP-01 uses a modified airframe of the KFZ-49 and has a forward swept wing design and equipped with a 2D thrust vector. The weapons equipped on the SGAP-01 are an experimental railgun named "GSTV-02" loaded with 20 shells installed in the nose of the aircraft which opens upon activation and six KI-09 Air to air missile and two partical accelerator guns in front of the aircraft. The controversy around this aircraft is that almost all of its controls are being governed by an A.I. with the pilot being inside to act as an back up incase of any errors occuring with the A.I.. The cockpit is covered with armor plating and instead of glass, it uses a system of cameras to act as a way to let the pilot see what is happening around him. Due to the aircraft's tendency to uncontrollably spin during take off, the aircraft was installed with a limiter to the thrust vector which the pilot can turn off when the need of maneuverability arises. The aircraft is also equipped with a landing assistant to help land the aircraft.
Disclaimer: The aircraft tends to jump side to side when landing at high speeds or when the aircraft isn't perfectly level horizontally. So when landing try to use the land assit often as it can help you not crash and burn in the runway lol the aircraft also takes a looong time to reduce its speed so prematurely slow down when landing! That is all.
Controls: Normal flight controls, AG1 to turn off the limiter for the thrust vector engines, AG2 for the land assist, and AG7 to activate the GSTV-02, Trim for trim. While AG7 is activated, Trim down to open the nose to reveal the cannon. VTOL for flaps.

Designer's notes:
Oh man she is done... And I am happy. I am really grateful that this aircraft came out well and that it had a grabbed a lot of attention. As I said in my teaser, this is my first time to be build something like this and I am thrilled to see this become the plane I envisioned, there were some set backs initially when I started to build this but I have managed to fix most of them. That is all, again, thank you for those who have upvoted the teaser and commented on the teaser!

YUSSSSS@Aldriech
YES INDEED IT GOES VERY FAST@Puffin9173
@Aldriech WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS “SGAP-01 ABLE” HOW FAST IT GOES
Wait how fast are we talking about? IAS of this plane is around mach 2 in sea level. if I recall correctly this can go around mach 3.5 at 20 kilometers. @Puffin9173 in other words YES VERY VERY VERY FAST
YES VERY FAST@Aldriech

@Strucker thank you!
Quite cool
