@Rakoval500k And btw i have an A-400m in the making for the airlift challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/6fGuEg/AIRLIFT-CHALLENGE. Could you make screenshots of my plane when it's done?
@XWorks My man, the only thing this plane is based on that plane are the variables. I built this thing from the ground up, no single fuselage from that plane u are saying. I only copied the variables so i could use a radar text in the cockpit.
@Diloph Block 52 isn't a 5th generation fighter lmao. It has a round nose which reflects radar in all 360 degrees, it also has only one tail that reflects a radar beam 90 degrees back to the receiver. It also carries it's missiles on wing pylons instead of internal weapons bays. it's clearly not a 5th generation fighter. Stealth aircraft have flat angled surfaces that reflect radar away from the enemy's receiver.
It was murdered by the politics...
It was such a masterpiece and it has so much more but most of the people dont know.
Problems that made the YF-23 pav 1 and 2 struggle during the tests was that the weapons bays werent ready for test due to failures and they decided to fit 8 missiles in the weapons bays but the plans were to fit 10 (two extra on the back weapons bay doors). The canopy(polycarbonate with stealth silica coating) didnt dry well too and had to be replaced once on the pav 2. And now about its maneuverability, the YF-23 had lower wing loading and more wing area than the YF-22 wich means it didnt need thrust vectoring to reach super maneuverability. The YF-23 had also large slats that could make it maneuver in slow speeds easily. The YF-22 needed thrust vectoring nozzles or it wasnt going to be super maneuverable. The nozzles made the YF-22's radar cross section in the back larger so it was less stealthy. YF-22 could fit 8 missiles (6x AIM-120 Amraam and 2x Aim-9m Sidewinder). And remember, YF-23 is still a prototype. Just imagine how succesful its final production version couldve been. I am really dissapointed why it didnt go into production. I hope it will revive like the YF-17 in to the F-18 soon.
@Bird6369 Yup, but i have no plans to finish it yet.
+3Where is the Aardvark?
@TRD how do i contact you on discord, can you give me a link?
@TRD could i use the screenshot u made of my plane?
+1@Rakoval500k But how are you going to send me the screenshots?
@Rakoval500k Ok, imma delete this post and tag you on the unlisted post.
My man how did u create this? It's so stable u could use this on a search and rescue helicopter.
I don't think i will get my plane done on time.

+2@Rakoval500k Alright, could you make screenshots and send them to me?.
What's the function of the wing under the belly? @ALRX
Realism plus part efficiency. Upvote
@Rakoval500k You have discord?
You made these drawings? They look sick.
@Otana
F-16 DSI Inlet testbed. Used for testing the inlet of the F-35.
+1@MrTrolling09 how do you import an image into simpleplanes?
+1Im in
@flightdesigner it's based on mine wtf
+2@Lake thanks bro
+1@flightdesigner I posted one, but its not a succesor. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Ay7vkA/Widowmaker
(btw the deadline isn't even reached lmao)
@flightdesigner What is the Exact deadline?

@Diloph F-16 is a 4th generation fighter, not 5th. F-22 and F-35 are 5th generation because of their stealth features.
That's a very beautiful A-10
@Diloph The F-22 will outperform it easily.
Nice cockpit
+1@xNotDumb You don't get the joke
FA XX looks really good
+1Do you use python for funky?
+1I have no idea where that auto credit comes from. Maybe the air to air radar.
+2Step closer to Dcs
+6Nailed it
F-100 Super Sabre
+1Reminds me of the beechcraft starship
It isn't considered as a fourth generation fighter.
@wfy312 I dont think this plane does meet the requirements of the challenge. The plane cannot be based on another aircraft.
+2Respect, Im making the f-23 and its almost finished. (btw, u could post this build at the stealth challenge).
+1@FlyingPotato_131 What is the code for Yeager on the keypad?
+1@edensk Edensk, do you know how to delay countermeasures?
@AdmiralWheatman YF-23 Black Widow II
Great work on the cockpit and the windows. Looks clean.
+2You got me.
+1Really nice replica.
I like the simplicity of this aircraft. Really nice
Damn what a cockpit, how did you make that radar?
+5Is this a sukhoi Superjet, it doesnt look like the Shorts Fjx but more like the Superjet. Btw really nice aircraft.
+1@WiniMii Search it up
