Of insufficient speed, the 103 has good flight time, and is highly attractive. Smooth long lines and with a decent speed of 1300+ mph at 34,000 ft. Maximum speed in this craft is 1535 mph at 35,000 m. This is the new refined version with even more fuel time.

    You know, I find it rather sad that this "dedicated interceptor" is outclassed in speed by a fighter at the same alt, assuming the interceptor is running after burners. If not, it will do 1251 mph @37700 ft
    If so it will manage in excess of 1700 mph @36500 ft
    --> Not actual numbers. It's faster in the latter case.

    This airframe was maxed the moment I built it. Tailored for speed over any other statistic. I'm going to make a new interceptor to replace it based on the A.A

    Good lord, how in the name of God is it so hard to make faster in vanilla?! And why does it get into spins so easily?!

    Well, yeah, but it handles great, (unless you fly above 30-40k feet) has nice speed regardless of competition goals, and like you say in the description, it has nice looks. Again, nice work :) @Oicraftian

    Depends on what you classify as "amazing". You see, it did not make the necessary design goals, so technically it has failed. But regardless, I thank you greatly for the rating and your opinions.

    Man, I have to say, this is a great plane. I'm a new player, only had this game a couple days but this is an amazing plane. Great job!

    Do not maneuver too harshly below 300 mph or above 40,000 ft. You will then go into a spin from which it is nearly impossible to recover.

    @RAF1 it is indeed inspired by the Mig 31. Thank you for the rating.

    I like it! I took it out for a spin and it was a fun ride. I added another control surface to the wing and inverted the pitch. Also added some more dead weight to the mid section (100 lbs or so). Small adjustments change the dynamics of the plane. You should experiment with small wings up front as well. Good job.

    @JacobHardy64 Not exactly. I got up to 1519 mph and realized I was climbing too high, so I did a tiny nose down and got the speed up to 1536 mph and pulled out. It flew at 1535 mph for over 5 minutes. That sounds weird yes?

    You need the momentum to get you to that speed @Oicraftian

    @JacobHardy64 thank you, I found the previous to be noticeably inferior to this one, I have not yet created the necessary missiles for this aircraft. You cannot actually get to Mach 2 in this plane just by flying level. For some perverse reason it only passes Mach 2 after you pull out of a very shallow dive and continues to fly perfectly fine at Mach 2...
