YF-40 Griffin

A prototype air superiority fighter designed to have a very high turning rate (<7s full turn) at a relatively high speed, while still having a good supply of armaments. The nose is based off of my ADFX-02 Morgan, but the plane has a fully redesigned body focused on agility, allowing it to easily get the edge in most dogfights. Like always, upvote if you like it, and enjoy! ^^

    @Liquidfox Heh, I've never even seen the XFA-24, but it does have a lot of that in it. I was however thinking of the CFA-44

    @MEGANOOB I know what you mean about speed, but I do have my reasons for keeping it at a mach 1 limit. First of all, I like the look of the 1.5x jet plume the best. Past that amount of power, the effect starts to get sparse, and it looks funny to me. Also, there's no g-limiter or speed sensitivity settings for controls, which kind of feels ridiculous to me at high speed. It's already pulling enough g's to black out any pilot instantly, and turning like that at mach 2 would basically kill them. And finally, I'm not a huge fan of infinite fuel modding, which it would need. Really though, these are all just little things that bug me. Perhaps I could add an afterburner option on my future planes to satisfy the speed freaks.

    You have been right! It is really very maneurable! Looks like a sixth generation fighter! But it's kinda slow for a plane of Future. There was somebody's post with all engines modded to 50x,you should find it to make this awesome looking beast fast er!
