General

This is the A-10 Thunderbolt, an aircraft we have meticulously modeled inside and out to help you better understand its design and capabilities.The A-10 is a ground attack aircraft primarily constructed from aluminum alloys.Its airframe consists of multiple independent beams that run along the length of the fuselage and wings, providing exceptional structural integrity.Since these aircraft operate at very low altitudes to support ground troops, they often face intense enemy fire.To withstand such conditions, the A-10 is designed with a rugged airframe capable of absorbing significant battle damage. It features extensive armor protection around the cockpit and the glass is also bullet proof and other critical components, making it exceptionally durable for close air support missions.In fact, the A-10’s cockpit is encased in titanium armor also called the Bathtub, weighing approximately 1,200 pounds which translates 540 kg, allowing it to withstand heavy impacts and continue flying even in hostile environments.”
