X-plane of the Day OPEN SIGN UP

Alright, so I just saw your response, @MiffedStarfish- but in the time it took for me to see it, I already made one :v

It works, but isn't nearly as good as what Rockwell intended due to various reasons. Does VTOL takeoff/land though, and can get *close* to the Mach wall, but not cross it.

Here's a download link anyways just to share.

Also, if the XFV-12's not available/has been done already, what might be an aircraft I could attempt to make and submit?

Boeing's X-32 JSF hasn't been picked up by anyone yet. It's up in six (first flew September 2000). Plus, it's the happiest plane you'll ever see.

Alrighty, I'll get right on it! Shouldn't take too long, especially since it's a somewhat more traditional wingform to work with than the XFV-12.

Heheheheheheheheheh...

Intake shape wasn't the easiest to make while keeping it relatively streamlined, but I think I got it.

It's most definitely a pudgy 'ol JSF prototype, for sure.

Nice! I feel the front air intake could be angled up a bit more to help it look more like the actual thing.
