Rockets: Nuclear powered pulse rockets capable of rotating forward, backwards, and out to the sides.
Gyroscopes: Mounted on the sides and bottom of the Dragonfly, these can either be used to stabilize the fighter (for example, to counteract the force of the rocket's rotating) or to quickly spin the fighter to face a target.
Autocannon: The Dragonfly is equipped with a twin-linked pair of 20mm recoilless autocannons fed from helical magazines mounted below. ("Helix Magazine" redirects to here.)
Ordinance Chute: It's a chute, along with an ignition system and magnetic clamps to operate the mass torpedo.
Mass Torpedo: A rod of high density metal with a simple rocket system. The Mass torpedo is scored to break up on impact to impart as much force upon its target as possible- a concept similar to hollow-point bullets. The mass torpedo is also resistant to point defense, as a hit will usually break it into a number of high velocity projectiles rather than deflecting away.
Hangar Crane Hardpoint: The Dragonfly has a major hardpoint on the rear as well as a number of docking lugs along its undercarriage to allow it to be housed in a zero-g hangar. It could also be equipped with landing gear if appropriate for its mission.
Retrieval Hook: For catching a brake tether when docking.
Compression Harness: A pneumatic system that interlinks with the pilot's space suit, the harness is designed to reduce the physical strain of high-g maneuvers on the pilot. The air system can feed directly into the space suit to provide emergency atmosphere.
Reactor: A muon catalyzed fission reactor that is pre-charged before launch. The low start temperature and self limiting nature of the muon reaction proved to be ideal for small craft that could rely on a larger power source to provide catalyzing agents between missions.
Cockpit Canopy: The door in and out, of course, it also uses windows made of lab-grown sheets of aluminum crystals. The view ports are very small, and largely intended to be used in certain emergency scenarios, as the pilot's helmet has an internal monitor that provides the necessary visual inputs (as well as anti-nausea display lag during fast maneuvers). Similarly there is a redundant computer display in the front dashboard.
New addition to a Fighter Series of portraits for the Train Like a Pro Event.

I wanted to build a WW2 style fighter plane for my Alternate World Nation, Esthia. The result was the Barugon!
The Barugon was a single seat fighter armed with two 20mm auto-cannons on the wings and a powerful 37mm engine mounted gun. Equipped with a 2700hp engine, it was extremely fast and agile. It could also carry ground attack rockets and bombs.
About the MOC:
I wanted to build a plane that somehow resembled the Yak-3 or the Mig-3 but with a better view for the pilot. The model has retractable landing gear as usual.
The name of the plane came from one of the Monsters of the Gamera franchise. :D

The aging AX-9 "Gunfighter" was sorely in need of replacement in the late 2430's. Hyperius Industries, already cementing a great deal of rapport with the USMF for their "Aquila" class scout, proposed this design to fill the heavy fighter roll.
The "Scorpion" class was given its name for the large mandible-type protrusions from the front of the cockpit area. These armatures were needed to house the massive heavy repeating lasers. Typically, these weapons were used as point defense on capital ships, and no one but the brilliant minds at Hyperius would have dared mounting such fearsome weaponry on a one-man ship. In addition to the heavy repeating lasers, the "Scorpion" also features two gauss cannons mounted on the wings and a pair of missile launchers beneath.
Though a few components are shared between the "Scorpion" and it's smaller brother the "Aquila" (namely the protected cockpit/pilot housing) the "Scorpion" could not be more different. It is quickly becoming the go-to favorite of USMF dogfighting aces. The "Scorpion" is a fierce threat to enemy fighters and heavier craft as well.
The Bristol Fighter is a sports car produced by Bristol Cars in small numbers from 2004 until the company suspended manufacturing in 2011. It is generally classed as a supercar.
The coupé body, which features gullwing doors, was designed by former Brabham Formula One engineer Max Boxstrom

This is not a new MOC sadly just a quick updated and revisit my old Fighter plane the FB12 FOXBAT FIGHTER Mark II. Found some old pictures and yet unpublished here.
Build way back in the late 2013 after I decided to upgraded the Foxbat Mark I which i thought could do better in term of design. Fold out gun cannon, landing gear, flap wing, hidden missiles below bay and LED light on the cockpit. One of the first MOC plane i did attempt to make with LED light!
This Foxbat was finally upgraded in2014. Another MOC version of it? Mark III? Maybe ;) Let me know what do you think?
FUN FACTS: Oh I did uploaded this Foxbat MOC in LEGOIdeas but couldn’t even make it to a thousand but i got a lot of good feedbacks and i do appreciated it. My MOC is one of kind.
3 years later, the evolution of the Nemesis concept.
Some improvements still need to be done.

The Si-Fighter is the Cadillac of designer Starfighters. From the Si-Industries it is the height of opulence. It is not particularly fast, nor armoured or even armed, this starfighter is nothing more than an extravagantly expensive Starfighter shaped after the Si-Industries' distinctive and obnoxious S. In fact this fighter's really only function is being a status symbol. A gaudy display of hubris that screams to the world that "you made to the finals."
And Zoid has one XD

In case people were wondering, yes before I left on vacation I had a S fighter ready to go for the FBTB alphabet fighter finals - in fact the final 5 fighters were built in about two weeks before I left. Definitely a fun contest, but I think I'm done with starfighters for awhile haha
Looking around through the archives again, this photo reminded me a small TTV set I've started but never kept up with.
I didn't like the weirdly angled wings of the 31086 futuristic flyer. I also didn't like that the main build had a bunch of pieces leftover. I thought I'd make my own alternate build that fixed both of those issues.
The Vila-Desparador VL-1000 Thanatos (in Greek – “Death”) is a single-seat, carrier-capable twin-engine 5th-generation hipermaneuverable strike-fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology.
The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), anti-shipping, air interdiction and close air support.
The Thanatos has four separate internal weapons bays, two on the bottom and sides of the fuselage. It can carry twelve compressed carriage medium range missile in the center bay and one short range missile in each of the two side bays.
While in its air-superiority configuration the VL-1000 carries its weapons internally, it is not limited to this option. The wings include at least ten hardpoints, four of them rated to handle 5,000 kg anti-ship missiles. However, use of external stores compromises the Thanatos stealth, and has a detrimental effect on maneuverability, speed, and range (unless external fuel is carried).

Please comment or fav! Thank you! :)
The LB7 Talon is a light bomber piloted by two. It is equipped with a large anti cruiser cannon, two small missile pods, a shield generator, and countermeasures. This was incredibly difficult to photograph.
For the Contest AssembleTheFleet2020
Simon Liu somehow you caught me.
Star wars is not a topic that I have a lot of knowledge about.
But who cares, they're spaceships.
I chose the good old republic with the classic Venator, and a few Jedi fighters with V-Wing fighter support.
The Venator is 30.5 studs long, the fighter ... well as small as it was possible for me.
I hope you all like my contribution.
Quan la quantitat regna per sobre la qualitat.
Gràcies, EudaldCJ pel títol!
================
When quantity reigns over quality.
The Spanish term 'vino peleón' (which colud be translated to fighter or quarrelsome wine) refers to the rough tasting, low qualilty cheap wine usually sold in large quantities.
Thanks, EudaldCJ for the title!
Después de todo el robo y el engaño
Probablemente piensas que tengo resentimiento hacia ti
Pero, oh no, estás equivocado
Porque si no fuera por todo lo que intentaste hacer
Yo no sabría todo lo capaz que soy de reponerme
Así que quiero decir gracias
Porque me hace mucho más fuerte
Me hace trabajar un poco más duro
Me hizo mucho más sabia
Así que gracias por hacerme una combatiente
An aquatic star fighter (or perhaps that should be starfish fighter).
It is intended to be the opposite of Don's Fighter. Instead of a very horizontal ship with a forward taper, I did a more vertical ship with a backward taper. Don had the cockpit near the rear, I moved it to the front. Lastly, his is designed for battling in the heights of space, mine is deigned for battling in the deepest oceans.
The USMF's elite pilots (those given the rank of Paladin) are a tough breed whose exploits are well known across the galaxy. Though qualified on a wide array of different craft (including ones not used by the USMF) most Paladins operate solo or in small groups; often great distances from allied bases or capital ships and thus have found great use in one-man fighter craft with FTL capability.
Miniaturizing FTL jump drives is a complex and costly process, but the benefits of a faster-than-light starfighter are numerous. For years, the USMF Paladins utilized the AX-20 "Katana" in this role. While a sturdy and fast ship, the Katana's production foundry was completely destroyed in the beginning stages of the Dimension Wars, and as such, it's service numbers dwindled further from the already small amount (in comparison to non-FTL fighters in the fleet).
Starcom Solution's answered the call for a "faster-than-light jack of all trades" by introducing the "Tekkan" (a name of Japanese origin inspired by its spiritual predecessor "Katana"). Starcom Solutions, living up to it's name, conquered the complex issue of small FTL jump drives with a unique solution; the drive systems were built at the capital ship shipyards on Saturn and then shipped to Neptune where quantum technology was used to shrink the units down to a smaller size.
Impressed by the originality of Starcom Solutions' engineering prowess, the USMF quickly requested a Tekkan for immediate trial runs. The first Tekkan produced (which was painted red with white markings as tribute to the Katana) passed its tests with flying colors (no pun intended) and was assigned to Paladin Kira Janus.
The Tekkan features twin heavy repeating lasers (much like those found on Hyperius Industries' "Scorpion"-class heavy fighter) and twin "Mjölnir"-type lightning cannons, which fire thunderous bolts of energy across great distances. These weapons pack quite the punch and require no ammunition, but require a great amount of charge time. If safety protocols are bypassed, the capacitor banks can overcharge and result in a devastating chain reaction.

What a treat!
Jeff Kaney rips through the air over Waukegan National Airport in his Northrop F-5A "Freedom Fighter."
A unique and last-minute addition to Wauekgan's 2017 airshow, seeing and hearing a living F-5A was completely cool.
A versatile platform even in spite of today's advanced military aircraft, the F-5 still soldiers on as a potent aerial adversary able to mimic a wide variety of Communist bloc aircraft.
The Gralha is Polycron's entry to the escort fighter market. Escort fighters took advantage of technological leaps in FTL drive design; nowhere near as complicated as Strike Fighters and thus much more affordable.
Polycron made a design pitched at planetary militia and corporate security bodies, as opposed to purely military buyers. As such, it is lightly armed compared to the more war-bound vessels out there.
It is a competent dogfighter, especially when deployed in a pair, whilst excelling in no significant area. But for some groups, the Gralha is the only FTL capable fightercraft affordable.
