Sunnelicht X

45 DH14  3.5 years ago

The Sunnelicht (Sunlight) is a fictional jet-powered German WWII era fighter designed to hunt and destroy Allied bombers over Germany. The fighter is painted bright yellow and white and equiped with a powerful set of yellow and white lights that make the aircraft completely invisible when flying out of the sun to anyone more than a quarter mile away. To cope with the immense drag from the light system, the Sunnelicht is fitted with a powerful jet engine. The aircraft also has 3 air intakes for high performance, which is necessary due to the aircraft being designed to dive out of the sun onto high flying bombers. To enable the plane to easily escape after an attack, the plane has custom cockpit glass to make flying towards the sun tolerable, which makes hitting the aircraft from the rear difficult for enemy planes. It is easy to take off and land in the plane, but it has poor maneuvering for a fighter, mostly due to the drag. The plane also carries two 500 kg bombs mounted behind the wings. Due to the rise of mobile radar systems after the war, the plane was scrapped. The lights can be activated via Ag. 7.
