    The Palaied A-10 Ironhawk is a close air support aircraft being developed under the Palaied company.

    Palaied: A mostly unused lore friendly brand found on the Fridge prop ingame. I believe it is pronounced like this: Pa-lei-d https://ipa-reader.com/?text=pʌleid&voice=Matthew

    Yes it is inspire by the Fairchild A-10 Warthog. However I wanted lore friendly brands so I'm going with this.

    [-] finish gear mount
    [-] rework landing gear
    [-] improve control surface attachment strength
    [-] decrease force needed to tear wing
    [-] reinforce wings for high-g maneuver (maybe)
    [-] add pylons
    [-] adjust flap characteristics
    [-] create mesh
    [-] push CoP closer to leading edge (25%)

    Landing gear:
    [-] decrease stow away angle
    [-] increase sway strength
    [-] create mesh
    [-] tune wheel stiffness
    [-] add brakes

    [-] adjust control surface attachment strength
    [-] create mesh

    Vertical stabilizer:
    [-] adjust overall attachment strength
    [-] adjust control surface attachment strength
