It's been a long time since i've made anything, so here's my recent fictional design inspired by a whole bunch of different jets. Can you guess them all? This jet is designed to be very stall proof, and is able to perform a whole bunch of cool aerials without even using thrust vectoring! (cobras, somersaults) Recommended to drop fuel tank for maneuverability.
AG1: Deactivates G-Lock. Allows full movement of elevators for extreme maneuvers.
AG2: Full marker lights.
AG3: Landing lights.
AG4: Drop tank.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :D
Special thanks to thealban for the USAF insignias!

Plannnnnne
F-18, F-22, SU-47, F-15 are my guesses.
Nice plane!
I think it's XFA-33 Fenrir\ADFX-01 Morgan
but there are so many ADF like aircraft in axe combat I'm not sure.
Nice build
@Wildblueyonder578 The wings in this setup allow for drag to be fairly even in a tailslide, whereas if the wings were to be back swept, the drag is too great at the rear to allow those maneuvers unless fairly large canards were added to equalise it. Then you'd have the issue of too much lift, which means the plane wouldn't be able pull into a slide anyway. For its weight though, i'd say it handles pretty well anyway. Its pretty realistic in terms of stats for a large fighter
I thought it had something to do with the wings,I swept them back. The maneuverability decreased but the handling increased.
@KCferrari Thanks for the tips!
@bluecomet Glad you like it! It's all about balance :P Too low of a wing loading will just make the plane oversensitive and feel like it flies on rails. Too high and it will drift out of turns, assuming it's well balanced. High load on an unbalanced plane spells disaster for handling.
This was more maneuverable than I expected it to be! I used to think low wing loading always meant good maneuverability, but that isn't the case here.
@KCferrari OK thx
@LukeDaDuke I could, but I honestly doubt i'll have time to make any of these requests any time soon. If i do, It will be a while for sure
@KCferrari could you possibly make the S-32?
@BaconEggs Thanks man, good to see people enjoying this :D Also I'm happy to say this is now my most popular plane!
Let's see.. SU-47 and SU-37, with F-22 nozzles and tail fins, some F-14 features. This is amazing!
@RyneKuczy Thanks! ^^ You're right except for the Mig, and a couple of Ace Combat planes mixed in. Lots of people say Mig though, so I guess the blend of F-14 and Su end up making something close to that.
This is great! I'm guessing that this was inspired by the Su-35, Su-47, MiG-35 and the F-14. Not sure though.
@Liquidfox I suppose an XFA-27 would be possible, but it does have a lot of moving parts, so balance work would be a pain. I could definitely give it a shot
@KCferrari that is interesting. Ace combat is a good game.
@Mr_6371 Thanks! @DragonAerotech Yea it's really so much better with a joystick. You can kill the G-lock and just feel like a boss, pulling crazy tailslides and 180 reversals, but with keyboard, not so much. You need that joystick precision, and with the additional elevator range, the sensitivity is way too high to turn off the lock using keyboard.
@KCferrari I read that lil warning about keyboard controls AFTER I took her up and began wondering, while do I always wind up in and end over end tumble/stall? I encountered the issue with AG 1 and 2, argh I need a USB port splitter so I can use my joystick! I miss out on quite a few great designs due to the lack therof. Looks wise, she's a beauty! Stability in take-off? Excellent - no imbalance whatsoever. XD
Notice~
it looks really awesome!
@dogspit Well, I'm remarkably uncreative when it comes to names, and Fenrir sounds cool :P As for the designation, its just following the USAF format, with a random number, so it's no surprise its similar. The ace combat jet is coded XFA-33, meaning experimental fighter/attacker, and I was going for a similar role, but as a fully fledged service jet, so minus the X
@KCferrari well the name is extremely similar to ace combats fenrir
