This is starting to look really good.
What are your final objective with this fictive bird ? Will you make it look fictive (like, flashy colors, super-power flight capacities etc...) or will you make it like a 'what-if' real bird ? I have a preference for the second one, I love those planes that make you wonder if they are really fictive or if they were a real prototype of an abandonned project.

Thanks! My aim is to make it as realistic as possible. As you said, one would wonder if it really exists. I aim also to make the flight dynamics as realistic as possible, fuel flow, ect! but I do have to work through a LOT of info!
My inspiration for this baby is on the tail....yes Tintin!
I remember there was in one of his books a swing wing Bizjet  :-D

That looks REALLY good! Keep up the good work!

Of course !! Flight 714 for Sidney ! This is why I had this "deja-vu" impression ! Thanks for the reminder, guys !!

Jakes, do you plan to add a virtual cockpit ? If not, perhaps you can "adapt" your model so that the VC of the Learjet (or the CRJ) can be used with your bird ? Using the VC from another FSX plane is easy, but the VC may not appear on the correct place (and the coordinates cannot be changed).

Yes, I want to do a VC with full interior as well. While I am learning the paces of designing, i might as well do all the aspects... With the help of SimV obviously!

Still looking good Jakes. Thanks. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] 8-)

Hallelujah!  A virtual cockpit!
