f-104 starfighter

21.4k RedHawk  8.8 years ago

my take on a starfighter, hope you enjoy!
the Lockheed f-104 starfighter was a single engine supersonic interceptor aircraft originally developed by Lockheed for the US. it was operated by more than a dozen different countries air force from 1958-2004. the design team was lead by Kelly Johnson who went on to lead or contribute to the design of the blackbird. (Wikipedia) it doesn't reach the correct speed but I wanted to keep it single engine

    @AviownCorp @aseder thanks, and I looked at giving it more pitch but I didn't want it to bounce around when you pitch, this is the problem on a lot of my planes and I am unable to figure out how to stop it

    Nice! I did one too, but i don't have so much stabilty at high speed, did you solved the problem that has the real and the virtual F-104? (My one is a F-104S, a modify made by Alenia, by the Aereonautica Militare in 1960s to solve the problem of a high speed interceptor fighter)
