joey45 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Another thing to add to the shopping list... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Python Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah, imagine the length of the airfield you'd need in the back garden for this thing.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mig29movt Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Looks pretty uncontrollable to me, add canards and I'd change my mind How would it produce enough lift to take off? :dunno: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Waiting to build a F/A-18C home-pit... ex - Swiss Air Force Pilatus PC-21 Ground Crew SFM?

chaos Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 How would it produce enough lift to take off? :dunno: by going really fast down the runway :D (sorry, couldn't resist...) "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."

Python Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Looks pretty uncontrollable to me, add canards and I'd change my mind How would it produce enough lift to take off? :dunno: Well it appears to be heavily influenced by the Starfighter and presumably it is light and the wing roots produce a fair bit of lift. I imagine they have done all of the basics at this point and at least made sure it will fly okay. While it is pretty long and narrow, it just looks right to me somehow. Although I doubt it will ever be seen doing aerobatics. Edited November 24, 2015 by Python [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Exorcet Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Looks pretty uncontrollable to me, add canards and I'd change my mind How would it produce enough lift to take off? :dunno: Appears to have LERX. It will have high CL on takeoff just like F-18 or Su-33.
