Description

The KRH-HF50, Heavy Fighter/Interceptor is a high speed attack fighter designed to intercept and take out enemy fighters and small air or spacecraft. It can hit a top speed of Mock 3 to get to a battle area quickly and armed to the teeth with enough firepower to wipe out a squad of enemy fighters. It is very maneuverable at subsonic speeds requiring the pilot to wear a high-G suit to avoid passing out in sharp turns. The fighter is also a space fighter, equipped with maneuvering thrusters and an advanced computer control system giving it similar maneuvering characteristics in space as it has in atmosphere with the computer handling the advanced calculations needed for thruster power and what thrusters to fire and for how long in order to respond to the pilot.

Other attributes include folding wings to save on storage space and a carrier arresting hook. It is capable of taking off and landing on most modern carriers, with or without the hook deployed. With engines at full she can accelerate to takeoff speeds quickly requiring a very short runway.

I built this plane in a program called X-Plane Plane Maker for X-plane v8.4 by Laminar Research. It took me a while to balance everything out so that the plane would actually fly correctly. For the weapons I used the default weapons that came with X-plane with the exception of the Javelin Rocket Pods. The Amram is a self radar guided air-to-air missile. The Sidewinder is a heat seeking air-to-air missile.

Since it is supposed to be a futuristic fighter it uses variable thrust rocket engines or something like that, not conventional jet engines. Though in the model I do have a pair of low-bypass jet engines on it for taxiing purposes. Rockets don’t have reverse thrust capability in x-plane and I found taxiing with just the main engines difficult.
