That looks like something out of a bad sci fi book. I personally don’t think it’ll ever fly. Pretty cool to think about, though

WAY cool. Gotta love the Skunkwoks. Isn’t this country great?

If that thing ever sees the light of day I’ll stop building models forever.

I’m glad I retired and wouldn’t have to work on that thing, it’s ugly’er then the X-32!

Strikes me a needlessy complicated. Wouldn’t it be simpler to modify a cruise missile airframe, which the refit Ohios are are already equipped to carry, to do the same mission? For that matter isn’t that what cruise missiles are for, blowing up targets at a distance?

I wonder which engineer was watching his/her child’s Saturday morning cartoons, and what cartoon it was to influence that design.

That’s just too cool. As for it not looking like it cant fly, the F117 doesn’t look like it can fly either.

Touchee, however the F-117 doesnt need to survive a water landing and subsequent swim to the “mothership” hehe
