New idea... Valkyret

[Dickert]

Been knocking around some design ideas since I am always looking for more SPEED in a small package!  Twenty one feet from nose to the tip of the tail in this case...
I have not started a new AIR file for this one yet, but since I want the image on the screan to reflect what is in the AIR and the CFG files, this design may still be in for heavy mods.
Therefore I am looking for input to design, and pointers on things I may have overlooked.  The gear tucks in flat right behind the wing and beside the engines.
These images are screan caps from GMax.
Thanks
Harold

Cool! Just a suggestion, but that would look great with swing wings!  8-)

nice....seems as streamlined as you can get....i imagine long landing gear....is there such a thing as a virtual wind tunnel?

Cool!  Love the profile.   :)

[color=#000000]If there isn't, I'm sure some super smart programming genius can and probably will make one at some point. You may be the first to think of it. This is exactly how great ideas start.

There is...

Ooh, looks cool.

I'm thinking thrust-vectoring!

Very Cool!!!

But I hafta ask......is the pilot gonna be as "accesorized" as the lady drivin' the Swift?

Harold, you cad!  How nice to see you (hurumph!) branching out (cough!) from the aircraft themselves!

Don't forget that all of the sims in the world are actually nothing more than very pretty wind-tunnel testing ranges (with very limited dynamics).  If an aircraft works when accurate airfiles are used, it is usually fit for larger testing.
