Some time last year i found this website: Stavatti.com let me say this is a legit company with contracts with the DOD and any other aerospasce company you guys should check it out. After veiwing the web site tell me what you think about it.
I call BS.
So how come nobody’s heard of these guys before?
It looks like a total fantasy to me.
Someone must have WAY too much time on their hands.
Second!
Total bravo-sierra.
Why is it that for the last SEVERAL years, while Boeing and Lockheed were squaring off for the joint strike fighter project, no one ever heard of these jokers?
I have seen that photo before, I just cannot remember exactly where. I am trying to find it.

Looks like super-nice game content. Someone’s put together a great package- the “official” nature of the site is really well done! I like the way they produced the general arrangement art to match Jane’s or Air and Space Weekly- nice attention to detail throughout. I give these guys a thumbs’ up. Don’t get mad- just enjoy it- it’s somebody’s labor of love. Bitchin’s designs, too, although I’m not sold by the hemisheric missile fins-…
I bet that if not a personal effort for grins, this whole site was a demonstration for a web design presentation for someone trying to get a job, using this elaborate site as an example of their graphic and layout design abilities as a resume attachment. It could even be someones’ class project for a college web design class.
In my opinion this is not a real world company.

I’ll say it was a good effort. It’s a helluva project, I’ll give the guy that much. Hope he got an A+!
Very nice site, good lay-out and very creative!
It really offers some inspiration for a what if project.
I would have to agree with everyone. This is not a legit site for actual aircraft. If it was they would have actual aircraft to show not someone’s imagination of futuristic aircraft.
I think the layout of the aircraft is neat, but for real…
Don’t think so!!
Actually this looks like some model that eddie miller has put together, you know one of those awesome kitbashes.[:D]
[#ditto] I agree with Yardbird, I have also seen this pic somewhere, possible even in FSM, but the paint job is different… Could be altered? Good imagination, though!

I would’nt take the site seriously. Nice design though…
It looks more like a SIM project. You might see it on the market someday as a future air battle SIM. Now if I can only get my HOTAS Cougar programed for them.[:D][:D]
It’a amazing what one can do with a 3d program and rudimentry knowledge of aviation.
A+ for concept and design
Unfortunately I meet the two gentlemen who are the heads up of the design team about 4-5 yrs ago in Niagara Falls. Stavatti is fer real…!!!
They were invited to an open house dinner which was sponsored by the members of our museum(The Niagara Aerospace Museum).
They were there to talk/explain about their Company and the future of Civil and Military useage. Infact Stavatti was looking into buying the former Bell Aerospace Plant as a main assembling facility.
Basically as I explained, their company is into designing light weight aircraft but the focus would be around fighters that would cost less to use/maintain then todays a/c.
At the time that they were at the open house giving their presentation, supposedly S.Korea, Poland and a few other countries were looking into these designs. I am not too sure the designs were ment for us or strickly for Foreign use.
I actually lost track of this company until this thread. I have about three or four copies of their design a/c. One is of the F-26, SM-26 HPS and a civil jet. They were signed by these fellas but I can’t recall their names. O’well time to tear up the ol basement.
Still can’t bvelieve this company is around. We all basically had a lil chuckel after they left but who would have thunk…
PS: As for not actually having the real deal, thats why they are looking into GE, Lockheed, Moog and so on for funds to help build the proto types. So for now, 3d is the way for them. it does take $$$ ya know. For being a private company, I wish them luck…
Give a few years and you may see one at a local airshow. Just look at Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne as well as his Voyager

Sorry bout that, I was way off in terms of who attended the dinner. It was Phil Goebel(Sr Vp) and Chris Beskar(President and CEO)
I do not reminder Chris looking like that when I met him…LOL
Flaps up, Mike
Oddly like an F16 minus the canopy would’nt you say?
it’s for real!!![:0] Well, I wish them best of luck, but I have serious doubts.
Financing (military) jet design and development is very costly. Just look at a civil (and now semi military) project like the Javelin.
There’s some nice looking 3D modelling and rendering there…
Good on them, I say.
Hey Rem,
It only takes a dollar and a dream right?? Or is that the lottery??LOL. Hey no one never knows until it is done. The way Beskar was talking, it sounded like he(they) had a very well planned out method in terms of the future of aviation. The ideas were good but most importantly was the fact they were giving it their all…
Who knows…
