Hey!

I started work on a common European fighter designed through the European Aerospace Union, and I was hoping for your input. I call this potential design Eurofighter Hurricane, hyperspace-capable (Wormy's request) multirole strike craft. Its wings can be folded back to take up less space on the deck of a carrier and to aid in atmospheric flight. When it is going at high speeds, it folds the wings back to reduce drag, and at low speeds it unfurls them to increase buoyancy:

As such, it might perform better at slower speeds than many craft of its generation. Since the wings move, however, missiles and bombs cannot be attached to them. In this kind of craft, they are usually strapped on to the underside of it.

I'm open to suggestions as to its other flight/operational characteristics. What would the Fjord League want out of this fighter?
