More to come.
(work in progress)

burp

why dont u die then!

cool?

Angle out those vertical stabilizers... 90 angle is bad for stealth.

Thats why its limited stealth, the right angled tail is required for manevers at high supersonic speeds

Well... It's not stealthy at all, really. It won't have a signature that much smaller than say, a Mirage 2000. Of course, it has internals, but it won't really be hard to detect on radar.

its like the b-1 and sr-71, limited stealth. and its got RAM coatings so thats good, its the size of a basketball on radar

updated wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

nklklmklk;jlkl;

according to your picture, it is about to be hit by a missile :(

I dont want a blown up plane *sigh*

that is to demon strate its counter measures. That missile will be fooled by chaff :D

noone wants anything
