Description
The F-40 FSW/MTD, standing for "Forward Sweep Wing/Maneuverbility Tech Demonstrator", is a NASA tesbed for odd aerodynamic concepts, made by REHL. This was a one-off aircraft built specifically for NASA's testing requirements, based heavily off of the F-40 Basilisk platform. The gun remains inside the aircraft because of weight & balance, with the plane requiring the GAU-8 in it's position in order to maintain it's maneuverable properties.

Pros:
- High Top Speed
- TVC
- Hypermanuverable
- NVD
- Advanced ejection sequence with 100% survival rate
- Can easily destroy any target with the main gun
- Strong landing gear

Cons:
- Engines can easily be destroyed with single digit amounts of bullets fired
- VERY unstable without TVC enabled, it can and will cobra, even if you don't want it to. TVC is required to recover from a stall.

Controls:
Action 1- GAU-8 Avenger
Action 7- Cockpit Jettison (Ejection)
Action 8- Couple Refueling Boom
Beacon- NVD
Disable Steering- Landing Gear
Invert Steering- TVC Toggle

and don't act like i insulted you and you're innocent, you came in here yelling and screeching about how shit the plane is

the plane is perfectly fine, any problems you're having are either blatant user error or limitations because of your computer

but you cant do tricks without stalling with and without TVC on a supermanuverable fighter

i have to disagree cuz imo tvc makes any plane just kinda cracked and can just make instant turns

if we were using these today the Wright brothers would be turning in their graves

natural flaps operate better in my opinion

mabye. But the main problem i belive it is its TVC.

if its to light just find the bricks that need to be heavier just make them a heavier material
