Super Gerry Anderson! :thumbsup:
So four engines and six wheels? I love it!
Cool :thumbsup:
I wonder how this would look with the landing gear down?
:wub:
Foxbat basher eh? So it tops out at what, mach 2.8+?
Or maybe more if it has to catch up.
Very good. :thumbsup:

Just going by the combined thrust ..... Powerplant: 4 × Rolls-Royce Avon 301R afterburning turbojet engines, 12,690 lbf (56.4 kN) thrust each dry, 16,360 lbf (72.8 kN) with afterburner
291.2 kNvs Foxbat Powerplant: 2 × Tumansky R-15B-300 afterburning turbojet engines, 73.5 kN (16,500 lbf) thrust each dry, 100.1 kN (22,500 lbf) with afterburner
200.2 kNif thats how it works? ;D

I can try & mock it up for you if you like, but it will look unusual ;D :thumbsup:
I like that :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Another masterpiece
Very Gerry Anderson. You need a suitable evil foe to defeat.
Maybe the 4 main wheels only would work as undercarriage?

That is quite the build.
