RCoA-103B
Yo!
About the aircraft
The RCoA-103B is a single engined jet fighter equipped with modern A-A misiles capable of intercepting most sub sonic aircraft. It is neither fast nor slow for a jet, and I believe it to be well-equipped. It has 4 short range misiles and 2 longer range fire-and-forget ones. The short range misiles can instantly lock on by the use of the aircraft’s on-board radar, however a lock must be maintained for successful interception. Flaps operable by VTOL. No, your eyes are not tricking you, the rear wheels have negative camber because when the gear was pulled up the wheels popped out trough the fuselage. Final thing, this is the “B” variant as the A variant (and the original design) had much longer landing gear, and instead was equipped for ground attack, and I couldn’t really put bombs on the wings and expect it to work.
I based it off of my twin engined fighter for those who care
About this “RCoA” thing.
It stands for Romanian Corporation of Aviation, a new series of fictional aircraft I wish to start. The aim for these is to test my building skill decoration wise, test design features, one of which visible on this aircraft, the on-the-wing missiles, and, most of all, I want them to be balanced. No OP creations, or abuse of mods.
A few things about this project of mine (RCoA):
-All models under 99 (including 99) will be propeller or alternatively turboprop aircraft. Everything above will either be turbine engined or civilian.
-As stated above, the aim is to manufacture balanced, multi purpose aircraft that experiment with design features, these spanning from simply fuselage style, to over all looks and others.
-Newer models will not include the “golden cross” (that’s what I call it, I have no idea what it’s actual name is) or an iron cross as Romania changed sides during the Second World War.
-Few aircraft will be designed to be carrier operable, however if a model proves to be, it will be equipped with an arresting hook.
-Most models will have flaps (operated by VTOL)
-Larger bombers will have controllable gun turrets however will sacrifice flaps and trim.
-My objective is to make original aircraft, however I admit some inspiration was taken for this particular model
That should be it
Until next time,
Your truly,

@DerpyCookie17 that's just how SP works I guess
@ACEPILOT109 I’m guessing that’s because it’s just a normal plane, it’s not anything special so it won’t attract attention
@DerpyCookie17 you got the look down! only one upvote ):
@ACEPILOT109 thanks! I tried to make it look like something pre-cold war, so that’s why I tried to make it more old fashioned, thanks :)
cool! nice job man! flys great. the aircraft looks "clunky" and flys like it, that's a good thing. I love the missile placement above the wing.
@ACEPILOT109 (hope I got the tag right) here it is! I must say I don’t find it very beautiful, but it ain’t ugly either. I’ll let you give it a fly and tell me what you think.
