F/A XX - CONCEPT
Photos are SP
In April 2012, the Navy issued a formal request for information for the F/A-XX. It calls for an air superiority fighter with multi-role capabilities to initially complement and eventually supersede the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft in the 2030s, while complementing the F-35C Lightning II and UCLASS unmanned aircraft, that can operate in anti-access/area-denial environments. Primary missions include air combat, air to air, ground attack, surface warfare, and close air support. Platform requirements include supercruise capabilities as well as advanced next-generation stealth features, sensors and radars with networking adaptability. Additional missions and capabilities include air-to-air refueling, reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA), and electronic warfare and countermeasures thereof. Manned, unmanned, and optionally-manned operations for a highly adaptive platform will be part of the new system.[4] The F/A-XX is being pursued as F/A-18 Super Hornets will reach the end of their 9,000 hours of service life by the early 2030s. Aside from the option of buying more F-35Cs, the F/A-XX is seeking to create a new aircraft to replace the Super Hornet's capability and mission set. Just as the F-35C will replace aging F/A-18 Hornets and complement Super Hornets, the F/A-XX will replace aging Super Hornets in the 2030s and complement the F-35C.[5]

the photos got lost
@Otana Photos go burr
Laggy ahh plane
@JacksEpicGamingYT might as well cook the whole arm since my laptop is still warm
@JacksEpicGamingYT like a slightly overcooked finger
@JacksEpicGamingYT not an egg yet, but but i did cook my own finger yet again
@JacksEpicGamingYT good idea, thanks
i'm not gonna lie, the plane is really really good, but it has one and only one downside...
it made my laptop heat up so much that i burned my finger when i touched it
@TheAviator77 thanks
EXELLENT BUILD!
This looks similarly like the unsa jackal from call of duty:infinite warfare
Rather cool concept
Best da*n stealth fighter on site but Intake modeling goes burrrr
@Otana
Is it possible you could only post the VR cockpit of this beauty as an unlisted post? There is stuff I really want to use for my next post. Please!
Extremely good looking aircraft, however I can't seem to get it to fly well on my PC, it always seems to want to roll to one side when pitching or straight up explodes when pitching, is anyone else having this issue?
How in the hell does my iPad run this?
@C0r3yr0g3rs okey.
@Otana thx bro I appreciate it
@C0r3yr0g3rs yeah sure
Could I possibly use this in a Wattpad story I'm writing @Otana?
can we have a VR friendly one
@JessaLeih Precisely, totally didn't forgot to reply that to him.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes less about coding and more about knowing how to properly size and place airfoils around an airframe, my comparatively more rudimentary looking D.20B has a very similar platform and flies very well otherwise. This looks dope though.
@Otana HUD is definitely broken, you can even see the pics of it where there is no artificial horizon present
