The Original Joint Strike Fighter
Forty years before the JSF Program most of us are familiar with took off, there was another program with a similar goal. How did it turn out? And what can we learn from it?
Enjoy my second Flights of Fancy! The Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX) program was a very intersting program, in that it perfectly encapsulates what makes the Aerospace Defense industry so unique. It's a story of difficult engineering challenges, impossible tasks, political maneuvering, and a rivalry within the Department of Defense. Oh, and there's an awesome craft for you to download and fly at the end of it too!
@HB Stratos and I have worked hard for the past few months to create this masterpiece of stock mechanics. It's filled to the gills with functionality, so I gurantee you'll enjoy it.
It has:
Swing wings
All-moving Stabilators
Stock Landing Gear
Full Slats/Flaps
(armed variant - coming soon) - An internal Missile Bay
(armed variant - coming soon) - moving pylons
