About this creation
Firtst a 360 view





Profile view showing the angled cockpit. The pilot has a better view that way.

Cockpit, equipped with multi-mission avionics system includes a HUD, advanced radar, flight instruments, ultra high frequency (UHF) communications, and Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN). It also has an internally mounted, tactical electronic-warfare system, Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF) system electronic countermeasures suite and a central digital computer.

Air intakes for the Gurijev F200 turbojets.

For dogfights, it is equipped with a 20mm cannon with a high rate of fire.

Thrust-vectoring is giving it a better maneuverability. The turbojets also have afterburners. The F/A-27 can climb to 10,000 m in around 60 seconds. The thrust output of the dual engines is greater than the aircraft's weight, thus giving it the ability to accelerate in a vertical climb.

Missiles are stored in an internal bay. It fits 8 missiles, air-to-ground or air-to-air.

Low aspect ratio provides the least drag, enabling the aircraft to speed up to Mach 3. In this configuration the trailing edge becomes the leading edge, a section of the wing root becomes the new trailing edge.


Landing, this pic shows the retractable landing gear and air-brake.

Quoting Josh Cooper Pretty cool man! Nice job with the wings. Its not exactly a new thing since my Phoenix already has that though. I also like the slanting cockpit. The bottom is pretty blocky though, and i could appreciate the aircraft better if it had landing gear. And it is quite a bold statement to say that this aircraft puts you at the forefront of the arms race. Time will tell my friend.
Now it has landing gear.
