Looks nice for your Chosen start.

Shouldn't the propeller shaft not be a little bit more in the center of the radial engine?

Thanks. Yes, you are right, it's a bit off center.

Regarding the engine, does Songsun build its own engines or will you have a separate company for that or will it be import?

I already thought about that question.... I don't think it is too realistic to if Chosen would have been able to built reliable and homemade enginesout of nowhere.
I would prefer to import engines for the first batches of planes and then later buy licenses to produce in factories in chosen.

Maybe Japan has some Engines to offer? Chosen can offer good wishes and girls in exchange.

Nice drawing, but I think her cockpit section is too small.

Well, not shure about the cockpit size, I oriented myself on other drawings I made and while the Cockpit isn't very spacious, I wouldn't say it's too small. The original design had another glassed area but I removed that for the pre-production model so I had a 'new' feature to offer for the serial production model.
Maybe the Canopy appears to be small because the plane is pretty massive. Morever it should be considered that the average Male in Chosen has the body size of a nine year old....

The canopy is small in relation to the rest of the aircraft, and it is very low. Forward visibility on the ground would be difficult, making take-offs dicey.

No, you are welcome. Thanks for the input but for this plane your canopy looks to edgy for my taste.
To be honest I am yet not too convinced about the canopy issue....
I measured that my canopy would have a height of about 40cm in real life. Thats not sufficient to provide a great visibilty for the pilot but is it really impossibly small?
I am concerned that a higher canopy would fuck up the "line" of the plane....

Hmm....I don't know. I don't like the plane anymore....I will maybe think of something different for a chosen fighter...

I like the plane in the last picture best. It looks sleek but still potent, like a real fighter ought to be.

The first two drawings could work, I suppose, but I agree that the greenhouse is a bit small. That *could* be a realistic fault, though.

I agree. The version with the lower canopy you can probably use as prototype or race plane (for Talons?)....
