EK35B Nighthawk (Heavy)

This is a pretty tried and true aircraft so it wasant as hard to convert. The only major change I had to make was to add a tiny jet on the end of the tail fin to counteract the catastrophicly disproportionate angular drag it was causing.

With the influx of light weight escort and bomber aircraft blueprints rolling through the Twilight Guard admiralty, a gaping hole in the fleet became more and more apparent. Since the decomissioning of the original LJF24 Pegasus model, no other aircraft had come close to it's sheer speed and deployment range, until now.

Developed in secret by EK aireospace and the Ruby Defence Division, the EK35-B Nighthawk is a extremely high speed air interceptor and a dedicated dogfighter more manuverable at high speed than any aircraft before it. With a much more armoured airframe and a Cyclone TX8000 turbofan engine, it combines reliability and flexability with a operating ceiling of 400*(meters?) and a top speed of 185m/s 240m/s!
(* it's speed drops to only around 180 at it's max height because contarary to real life planes actually travel faster the closer they are to the surface)

Other notes:
(The EK35 model interceptor is lightly inspired by the russian MIG fighter jet, keep in mind it's a combination looks and functionality and is much more expensive than other light fighters for early campaign. I don't know who originally posted the frag missile lua code I just asked my friend who knew a bit more about the game syntax what code would work best for a high speed airframe missile so credit to whoever has it posted on the forums.)
