Introduction
The Flying Aircraft Carrier 7A (FAC-7A) is a very large aircraft primarily designed to carry smaller aircraft and fly them to a destination. It could also be used to carry big missiles (including the Crazybird M10) that were designed for launching underground.
While the aircraft is supposed to fly at the 300 m/s range, it can achieve hypersonic speeds using its six CRE10 engines. Because of the its weight and massive size, the aircraft may need airports with longer airstrips, or if it takes off from DSC, it will have to gain more speed before it can fly up.
Surprisingly, due to its massive size and lighter weight, it can takeoff off and land on water.
Details
The FAC-7A is designed for moving large weapons and fighter aircraft.
While its usual speed should be in the 300m/s range (for safety reasons), it can achieve hypersonic flight.
The aircraft uses six CRE10 engines to accelerate it faster due to its massive size.
The FAC-7A Superlaunch is a smaller, faster, and more powerful successor of the X-6A.
Due to lighter weight, it can takeoff off and off and land on water.

@Crazyman552588 CL-1201 is like rly small compared to some of our fictional aircraft

@KashmianAerospace for me, it only took a couple hours 😜
It didn’t take long because I was using the X-6A and making it smaller, but capable of moving.

No joke, I was planning it build a Flying aircraft carrier months ago. I stopped bc it would take too long. good craft!

@Aludra877 btw this is like 3x biggen then Cl-1201 and like 30x heavier

@Aludra877 thanks though! 😊
The predecessor was the X-6A, but it had a huge problem. The landing gear on wingtips stop it from moving on the ground and the engines couldn’t accelerate it fast.
The FAC-7A is the solution! -

@Aludra877 I know the soviets had it. And the US planned to make a Lockheed CL-1201, but the project was cancelled.

@Crazyman552588 The flying aircraft carrier concept, its a neat concept ngl, the soviets had some in ww2. One with modern day tech would be quite dangerous, as you mentioned it can carry ground missiles, that alone is quite dangerous, this would be far more realistic and practical than jumping straight to something like CL-1201. Dope work here man! Love it and the concept! As well the engines somewhat remind me of the Messerschmidt Gigants predeseccer glider craft. Neat work man! Love it! Live long and prosper
Amazing photography too! -

@IvanDLIIndustries except the Concorde is a commercial aircraft, whereas this is a flying aircraft carrier

There will be more variants coming soon, including some with fighter jets, missiles, or both.
Because the F-25 is a trainer jet, I will make an armed one and then add it to the upcoming FAC-7B Superlaunch.
