NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR FIGHTER-CRAFT!

HIRING!

Current employes:

AlexanderTheKerbanaut: Founder and fighter-craft designer

AirShark: fighter-craft designer

Welcome to the Kerbal Fighter series! We are dedicated in bringing you the latest and most technologically advanced spacecraft to help protect your creations from evil masterminds. So basically we are gearing up for MP (Multi-Player).

Recent tests:

Having a standard radial decoupler above the wheel seems to have better shock absorbing. But It also tends to be quite wobly which results in the aircraft fliping on it's wings and doing a nose dive into the runway/grass. We might someday use this system but for now we need to work out the issue with woblyness.

KF I

Our first fighter in this series. It's very maneuverable, agile, light and easy to fly. Ideal for new pilots. You'll for sure have the advantage in a fight in this state of the art aircraft.

Specs:

Top speed: 130-160m/s (varies based on turns, dives etc.)

VTOL capable: Yes

Speed needed for take-off: 50m/s

Safety: 9/10

Maneuverability: 8/10

Emergency system: Yes

Stall recovery: 10/10

Gliding: 8/10

This particular model also features a state of the art ejection seat/pod. So far nothing can outperform it's safety.

How to use the ejection seat/pod:

1. Cut the engines and get to a speed of 100m/s.

2. Press space to deploy system.

3. After the stage has finished burning deploy the chute.

We are working hard on making new models and safety equipment so check back soon.

Please post feedback on the aircraft.

Also, do you guys think the images are too big? XD

Damn. You beat me to it! LOL! I was going to post my Air Force with, believe it or not, a KF Series of Fighters. Then I saw your post.

None the less, great fighter and brilliant idea with the ejection pod.

Thanks a lot! I was working hard on coming up with the design and this is what it lead to be! It's pretty cool I think. Thanks again! Oh and I'm considering hiring people for the thread, would you be interested? :)

Lol. I have a whole Air Force!

Here are my fighters.

Note: I'm using modded engines:

E474-12B has more power (205), but has a higher burn rate(0.6).

E474-12C has slightly more power (185), lower burn rate(0.3)

E120-5A is the standard turbojet engine with slightly higher power.

AND

The C7 Aerospace mod. For some reason, their fuel tanks have and insane amount of fuel (750), so that's why my jets fly far.

Other mods are Airbrakes (I forgot who made them) and Damned Aerospace.

Looks similar to the F-117. And probably handles like it too based on what your saying (The Wobbilin' Goblin as the F-117 pilots called it).

LOL. Anyway they sound like very good aircraft! Could you post some pics? You can use a website here to upload them.

Even if you don't, welcome to the team!

Thanks!

I fixed the pics btw. I also have two bombers, one heli, another fighter, two trainers and one transport.

Nice designs you got there! But I'm trying to make this thread stock so mind making all your future designs stock? Thanks! I might include a mod section for Damned Aerospace though!
