stealth

[Felix/FFDS]

amarch - obviously, we relented a bit and decided to unban you and give you another chance.

Basically, remember that you're dealing here with older folk that many times need/want a better description explanation in a thread than "how do I do it?" .

Your enthusiasm for flight simming and modelling is commendable, but remember, it's only a  hobby, not a way of life.

I am beginning to get the idea that simming is like html: it can be long, hard, and the tiniest things (like quotes) can be accidentally left out and your plane doesn't work.  I have made two simple webpages, and it can be tough finding the right codes, colors, java, etc. to make everything flow like a sweet little river.  I can imagine how hard it would be to design an aircraft from start.

ill try to calm down a bit on fs
its just im a very short-tempered person(as i turned a teen the other day so what would you expect)

[madness]

forgot to say this thancks for unbanning me

[madness]

Well, first of all, it's not a real airplane.

well actually it does exist i saw a video that works on the psp i put it on
the video was a person in a commercial jet with a camcorder and saw a plane bob up out of the clouds then back under and from what i saw it was the plane from stealthwith the wings open backwards

Well, actually, it ISN'T a real aircraft.  The one that the person saw was probably the Switchblade (which I STILL think doesn't exist), but anyway . . .

[madness]

not being rude or anything but the switchblade is the plane from stealth if you think about it
no offence

Mmmmmmm . . . I'll give you SIMILAR, but not the same aircraft.

(Le sigh) Take a look for yourself:

SWITCHBLADE


"STEALTH"


DIFFERENCES:

Intakes
Vert Stablizers -Stealth has ruddervators, Switchblade has elevators
Nose - Switchblade is pointed, Stealth is curved like a bird's neck
Engines - Stealth has some funky cowling over the exhaust tubes, Switchblade's are exposed
Pilots - Switchblade is two-person, Stealth is one


SIMILARITIES:

Variable-geometry wings
Canards

Stealth was most likely based off the Switchblade, but by no means mimics it in performance characteristics.  No aircraft performs that way.  Too high an AoA, not enough climb capacity, no adherence to G limits, etc.

Sorry for going a little kooky, here, but this kind of thing really grates against me, as I come from a family of pilots.  I was taught early on what can fly and what can't, and brother, that "Stealth" aircraft ain't gonna float . . .

Well, if you haven't noticed, it is a movie.. Computer graphics.. storylines.. I'm sure Hollywood can't afford to build a real $40+ million jet and risk it crashing, can they?
