MiG-29A Fulcrum
A medium-sized fighter developed as a replacement for contemporary lead planes such as the MiG-21. Highly capable in aerial combat, this attack plane was devised as an interceptor to be pitted against such fighters as the F-15. The MiG-29A Fulcrum served as the base for a large amount of improved variants, approaching the Su-27 in terms of numbers. Some of these variants include the carrier-based K model; the OVT, used to test thrust-vectoring nozzles; and the next-gen MiG-35. The country where it was developed calls it "Lastochka," meaning swallow, but is best known by the code name "Fulcrum."

Flight model
The raw flight data from the game files (campaign version). Speeds are in km/h. The other numbers use the game's own units. The values keep the game's field names, because what most of them do is still unknown. Under Stability and Defense are the fields that match those in-game bars best. Mobility matches the rotation rates. How the game calculates the bars is unknown.
The game's curve points for this aircraft are out of order (a lower speed follows a higher one); they are drawn as stored.
