History:
The Tupolev Tu-160 (Russian: ??????? ??-160 ????? ??????, romanized: Belyy Lebed, lit. 'White Swan';[3] NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.[4] It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.[5] Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service.[6] The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernization programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.

Hey, I am an up and coming builder and would love for you to test my aircraft. I am very inspired by your builds! (Also we are very similar people based on your bio, but I’m in SC)
@asteroidbook345 This was from a month ago lol!
Noice!
Damn.@SledDriver How do you do that so well lol!
@ChisP Well, the screenshots are still not very good. The last two have too much clutter in the background, and the first one is completely washed out. It doesn't show off the shape of the aircraft, the lighting is at the wong angle, and the foreground has too little contrast against the background. Here are a bunch of screenshots that I think look a lot better.
@SledDriver how’s the screenshot 😂
Yeah 😂 thanks for the spotlight as well@FranzPeterSiegfried
Thanks@edensk
Beautiful! It’s finally done but the control columns are inverted!
Haha lol ok@Omel
