Sukhoi I-240 "Chush"

Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Cold War Challenge - 50-450 parts (CLOSED)

So... yeah! This is my first fully-fictitious build in a really long time, but I think I rocked it! I lost interest in my last design, the one I made a teaser for, so I brought a swept-wing aircraft for the people last time. I remade my really old aircraft I made about 2 years ago now


In the early 1950s, the Soviet Union, among other things, began racing to produce air superiority fighters and of course, Close Air Support. This design was made by me as a proposed idea, encompassing over-wing missiles, bombs, and rockets! It is very slow and in some cases unstable, but it has tremendous firepower that makes it all worthwhile. This is my submission to WinWing's challenge, and I intend on making another plane rather soon! Either a WW2 fictitious design, or another submission for this challenge as an American answer to it. So... yeah! Nothing too fancy lol


Controls

AG1 will activate the propeller engines
Yaw does steering, and this plane actually has slightly-working yaw and trim
Everything else is normal

Hope y'all enjoy!

    @WinsWings Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it! Yeahhh I was confused on how to get the front seat lower as it already was a little low, and the back seat wouldn't have been able to go any more up. Thank you again!

    Here is my suggestion: in most cases, the back seat is a bit higher than the front- so the pilot at the back also get a clear vision. 2, wing tip usually are narrower than the wing roots. The length of this aircraft also will improve the stability issues. Overall it is a nice one

    My bud, PapaKernels, and I talk a bunch and I redesigned it on paper, and used my drawing as the blueprint to follow. I deviated in some places, but hey!
