Stealth, the most effective form of combat on earth. From large ships using visually distracting paint, to silent and swift owls in the animal kingdom, it is an essential way of getting ahold of enemies. And mankind is nothing different.
.
Stealth in mankind first evolved from hiding in bushes with bows and arrows, to muskets in buildings, and eventually the skies.
All the way back with clear finishes on early propeller aircraft, aviators were trying ways of being cloaked to the enemy pilots but they always failed due to the glossynes of the clear canvas or complexity stealth in aviation seemed impossible.
Until the radar came around.
.
In the 80's growing concern with the Russian SAMs made Engineers and aircraft designers were figuring out how to get around this when stealth was brought up. A paper by a Russian electrical engineer and mathematician named Pyotir Ufimtsev wrote a paper revealing that the radar cross section of an object isn't dependent of its size, it's the shape.
This led Amarican Engineers to use this paper to create the famous F-117 Nighthawk.
This revolution kicked off the stealth era of aircraft, and throughout the decades this technology got more and more sophisticated.
With leads us to the current day and the Sixth Generation.

May I introduce to you the Sparrow.
.
Ordinance: 18x AIM-160
.
This uses a new technique called the Critically Damaged glitch, which uses a big enough Wong piece to not be seen as an in-game target, simulating real stealth. So excuse the falling off piece. It's that technique in use.
.
This is my vision of a future 6th gen fighter
Specifically made for @RelentlessGalaxies' Crown Of Doom Challenge.
.
This is one of the most unusual and complex aircraft I've made. It isn't perfect, of course, if I had infinite time to build this and actually good Funky Tree knowledge it would be insane but I'm still learning, and this is a big stepping stone in it.
Remember, eject with AG4!

How am I on the front page...
Thank you.
Don't worry about the successor part... I've got you covered.
@SuperSuperTheSylph accidentally tagged everyone on the wrong post lol
@AdamJ one of the main inspirations of this is the f-47 renders lol
F-47 At home
Beautiful
bird o' prey
(again)
X-36 offspring
and I thought I had a lot of missiles XD
very nice build btw
@Rb2h np. Also, for some reason, it's gone up by one hour on its own. Guess it decided to give grace time itself. I won't let it seems like that tho.
@RestlessGalaxies Howdid I forget that..
5 mins until the deadline made me forget stuff lol..
here. This is the post he wants it to be a successor to

@FartResidue
@RestlessGalaxies
@crazyplaness could you make this a successor to this?
This is for that challenge.
EDIT wrong one
This is the correct post.
