Sukhoi T-4 Sotka

The Sukhoi T-4 Sotka, or “Project 100”, was a high speed reconnaissance and bomber aircraft of the Soviet Union. It was developed with the intention of matching the Americans upcoming B-70 bomber project. Like the B-70, the T-4 was to fly at Mach 3. It did not have an internal bomb bay, but instead carried its payload externally. One of the most striking features of the T-4 was the drooping nose, which would raise for supersonic flight. In this state, the pilot was effectively blind, with only a periscope available to see forward. The project was eventually cancelled with 1 flying example and 3 other airframes not flown.

This aircraft features a realistic moving nose. At 700kmh, the nose cone will lift up to be flush with the contours of the fuselage, cutting off all forward vision from the cockpit. Flying should be done outside of the plane. The jet also features a hypersonic missile as its only weapon. It is automatically stabilized, but must be manually guided to its target.
