Zius Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Attached is the cover of a French comic called "Wunderwaffen" which explores an alternate reality where the allies failed at D-Day and WW2 went on beyond 1946. It's an interesting comic where most of the German experimental aircraft are featured. The other aircraft on this cover are Focke-Wulf Super Lorin, but I don't know the American aircraft. Modules: Bf 109, C-101, CE-II, F-5, Gazelle, Huey, Ka-50, Mi-8, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, Albatros, Viggen, Mirage 2000, Hornet, Yak-52, FC3
thrustvector Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 its similar to the x-29 apart from it hasn't got the forward swept wings, unless its artists rendition maybe?
Zius Posted January 1, 2019 Author Posted January 1, 2019 No, it's not a X-29. The story takes place in 1947 and the other German (experimental / proposed IRL) aircraft portrayed are done quite "historically correct", as far as possible. So I assume that the unknown American aircraft was also in the conceptual or experimental stage by 1947.

For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."
