IMPORTANT-ish
There are some flaws in this design that I am aware of. But I have changed the XPF-01A design to the point where I feel like it would be a bit too much to just upload another update. Check out my new post here. It's the XPF-01B, a larger and upgraded version of the A variant.
Hey!
DFoulke here. This is the very first original aircraft I have made. This aircraft is an original design by me. I've put a lot of effort into making it. I am still new to SP though so it doesn't look as attractive as many pro builds, but I'm still proud of it.
THE XPF-01
What you're looking at is the Experimental Prototype Fighter no. 1, or XPF-01 for short. It is a stealth fighter designed for interception, air-superiority and is capable of providing ground support. It was designed my my fictional characters Damien "Black" Foulke, Maxwell "Max" Sirius and Ami Kaisen, all of who are a part of the PMC known as "Milites Sine Terminis" or MST for short. The XPF-01 was given the nickname of "Ripper" because during its initial testing, the engines would be too powerful for the wings to handle and they would be ripped off the aircraft.
This specific build is the A variant of the aircraft, it is a less stealthy version of the aircraft with its weaponry being on the external of the aircraft, instead of being hidden in a weapons bay.
I will be working on more variants in the future, keep an eye out for them!
Controls:
Trim for Flaps
AG1 to detach Fuel Tanks
VTOL does nothing, ignore it.
Side note: I would like to say thank you to the friends who have supported me and assisted me in creating the Ripper, building the Ripper was very stressful at times. There were many times where I had made mistakes, made a small redesign or redesigned the entire plane as a whole. I had almost given up on creating this plane. Without those friends who have supported me, this project may have never seen the light of day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
P.S. This is an updated version. What's new? Fuel tanks. That's it, just fuel tanks.

@Kendicus uploaded a better version known as the XPF-01B, check that out. I've made a bit too many changes to just post it as another update to the XPF-01A.
Crazy manueverbility, I like it. The speed is a bit overkill but I guess that is your preference.
The fuel tank clips into the wing when you manuever
@DFoulke at least it’s an improvement though, I hope.
@Wingman522 weird, it never had that issue for me... atleast, not in the updated variant I've been working on c;
this is an unarmed version with the problem fixed. The fuel tanks would glitch through the wings, and with collision for the fuel tanks on, it would blow the plane apart. It’s still shaky, nothing I can do about that.
This is pretty good! Especially for a first plane! My first plane looked like a flying brick...
Anyway, great job!
@DFoulke Impressive!
yes you should be proud of it
@DFoulke Okay
@Wingman522 noted, will see what I can do abt that. Although, according to my canon, it is still a prototype. Some issues would be normal. I'll be making a modified and enhanced version soon because in the lore I made, it was further developed into a more advanced fighter. Keep an eye out for that c;
@Ferrolon considering I'm new to SP, this was a bit challenging for me. I did go through some pain. Like I said, this wasn't even the original design. If anything, it's a very simplified version of the original design
@Kotoura002 Yeah, my OC is Pixy's son. xD
Cool plane tho. I'll be sure to modif-- uhm i mean fly it.
You went through pain building that? BOI, MY VIRXOVUS THORIGON XTR TOOK ME 7 HOURS, 2 CORRUPTED FILES, AND 2 FULL-BLOWN LIFE LECTURE TO MAKE!
I love the backstory. Gives the plane some character. A bit unstable at higher speeds though.
Yo buddy, still alive?
Hot plane, once again, time for the big WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
