Indestructable wings are a no go. Modded engines are just fine. The hard part is building within the confineds of the unmodded wing physics.
@MysteryBox
It's fine as long as the weight of the fuel is not reduced. So no 2 million gallon tanks, unless your plane can handle the weight. I'm not a stickler for the rules, I'd like to see whatever you want to upload.
Thanks for the edit. As I said, I understand it's a NATO designation, there are a lot of derogatory NATO designations. It's the perception of disrespect that really matters, even if it's not intended. Still a great build.
Ok, I've got a couple of things to get this thing flying:
-The tail of the aircraft must be able to sink a bit, or you will not be able to create enough pitch to take off. Remove some buoyancy from tail. There is such a thing as too much buoyancy.
-Center of mass (red ball) must be forward of center of lift (blue ball). Remove all dead weight from the tail and shift fuel forward.
-Increase the size of horizontal stabilizer and elevator so they are more effective. It wouldn't hurt to lengthen the tail.
-Lastly, increase the prop blades to 6 and maximize their thickness so the aircraft has enough power to break free of the water.
Now we're talking, GREAT BUILD! Some of the pitch control issue can be fixed by moving the center of mass forward. I see that you did move some fuel and added some dead weight to the front of the aircraft, but I was able to fix this probelm by removing all fuel aft of the wings. The under-power engine can be fixed by adding more air intakes. Keep 'em coming.

Right on! Can't wait to see it. Planes don't have to be the 'BEST' to earn accolades, they just have to be original and fun. Cheers mate!
If you're wondering why nobody upvotes "your" builds, it's because these aren't your aircraft. Try posting one that you actually built or at least change more than the paint and weapons on other Builders' work.
@Stingray
They were variable-sweeping wings way back in the 60's. The F-111 Aardvark was built in '64 I think, ten years before the Lancer. These were more of a concept aircraft for SP, the actual concept has been proven. Cheers mate!
Your aircraft are looking pretty good. Try to make one from scratch, you've got the concepts down just fine. You'll learn by doing, and understand the physics much better. Keep 'em coming!
@AchillesDeath
Agreed. The real Ccooper would post a lot more informarion about the aircraft and the build. This is an imposter, stealing Ccoops builds. Where did the real Ccooper go?
Nice rebuild.
Great build! This may be my favorite submission to this challenge. Amazingly stable and as fast as it is good looking.
@oDDDynamics
Thanks!
@happy3piont14
Feel free to use the modded engine from the challenge aircraft. I think it is x20 or x25 and has modded exhaust.
Thanks to @Sarpanitu for the rotator control structure idea on their Spasm
@Hunter77
It's @Contron 's idea, I just adjusted some of the pieces so it would fly.

@oDDDynamics
Build whatever you want, it's your aircraft. There are dozens of ways to get hypersonic.

@Contron
Any objection with me fiddling with it and uploading my version (crediting you of course)?
@ErvenDynamics
Has HL3 officially been confirmed... again?
Hell of a flying wing!

This thing is friggin awesome!
@Stingray
Yeah, I figured I'd enter a prop and a jet.

I'm in x2, this time with a supersonic jet
I'm in!
I'm building a good one.
Nice!
This is @thealban's plane with weapons. Credit wherecredit is due.
Looks great, keep 'em coming!
Reconition where recognition is due. That's the ticket. @komuhachi, for one, built a lot of these parts.
Great build! I built one of these a couple of months ago, check it out. Cheers!

Don't steal other builders' designs.
@Hedsma
He wouldn't know, he didn't build it he ripped it off.
New account?
Hey, one of your own! Stop copying other builder's aircraft.
@mrferretairlines
They are just another thief that needs to be reported.
Another copy. Reported
That's called uploading someone else work. Reported
Awesome build!
@TTHHSSSS
Thanks, I'll check it out.
@Sutairs
Thanks! It ended up kind of goofy, but it worked ;)
@PlanesOfOld
Thank you.
@oDDDynamics
Thanks!
@Himynameiswalrus
Thank you!
Great build! I actually almost built this little gem a few months ago when I was building concept racers. Well done.
Great, now I need to buy a computer.
Wow, cool build.
