Lockheed F-104 Starfighter [UPDATED]

Description
The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF).

Important Notice
Do not rotate the machine direction more than 90 degrees or the elevator control will broken

One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004.

The F-104 was fast, very fast, but that was all it was. It was a very powerful engine with an aerodynamic fairing wrapped around it. It was small and could not carry much fuel so it had limited range. It had a very small wing so it could not carry much ordinance so was practically useless in a secondary role as a ground attack airplane. It was fast, very fast, but because of the small highly loaded wing it couldn't turn and therefore was no dog fighter.

This is my first plane that broke the hypothetical sound-barrier, its max speed reaches 1300+ km/h and strong enough to not deteriorating at that speed. But don't bank at that speed, or you will broke its fuselage.

Special thanks to Fnom3 with his amazing suspension design for the landing gear.

they do have, its just very-very small
try deleting the grabber, rocket. and bomb then you can see it

The missiles

@shade ok I downloaded both of the helicopters that you suggested. They both have no braces. Thank you for your help
Shadé  [author] 29 Aug, 2016 @ 9:20am 
@3TheGamer03 I forgot if this one has brace or not, but if you want a braceless missile it only works really well at this scale or bigger, you will encounter a lot of difficulty if you make it smaller because will need to move the grabber and/or the bomb by less than 0.001. I suggest you take a look at my Hellion or Twinblade missiles. It has a really small straight missile that works but with an extra brace in the middle of it. You can tune its centre of mass by moving it 0.001 up/down until it fly straight

Hi shade! I tried to remake the missile that you built in this plane on half the scale, but mine kept doing front flips downward. Please help.
