Interesting. I remember seeing images about these weird UFO sightings on the web a while ago, although the design is incredibly odd. It's just rings and random spikes. The TR-3B, Tic Tac, and your typical flying saucer all at least looked like they had a specific reason for the shape they had.
When you spot an enemy aircraft and fire your AA tanks, but you forgot you bought those cheap Chinese missiles and the rocket motor fails to light off, and the warhead explodes in the launcher, destroying your whole convoy and bridge....

Also, in the world of the novel/anime (I'm hiding the name of the series until I fully announce this plane), stealth isn't a priority, since it's nigh-impossible to hide from the enemy in the series. So electronic warfare & raw performance are more important.
@MontyPython
It's a replica of a fictional superfighter from a novel/anime series. In the anime, the planes look all really futuristic and radical in their designs. The novel designs are much more traditional and more realistic. This plane I'm making is from the novel, and the same plane in the anime has a totally different design. But the one from the novel looks like it was developed from the F-15.
@JamesBleriot
No way Jose an Aerostat is gonna go underwater. However JP Aerospace is trying to make an airship that goes into orbit to greatly lower the cost of space access, but it takes days for it to reach orbital height, whereas the Tic Tacs can go into orbit in mere seconds.
@Brields95
US Navy F-18 pilots off the East Coast have also been reporting these strange objects, some of which look like flying cubes, and one squadron that deployed to the M.E. said the objects "followed" their carrier group as they deployed in active duty. The US Navy is also taking these reports seriously, and I don't think it's aliens at all, but a new kind of craft using a radical new form of propulsion that may slowly be getting declassified, as there are patents online that are publicly available that describe legit anti-gravity technology
@Brields95
The witnesses were aboard the USS Princeton which was part of the Nimitz Carrier Strike group when they were conducting training. And then there's the FLIR footage of the object released by the Pentagon themselves. The only reason the witnesses came forward was because the Pentagon declassified the incident and they were allowed to come forward.
@asteroidbook345
I find it even crazier how something relatively mundane such as the stealthy UH-60 "Ghost Hawk" used in the Osama Bin Laden raids is still heavily classified, but anti-gravity related patents are publicly available, and patents that the US Navy is taking seriously and wants to develop; and IR footage of that radical tic-tac craft was declassified by the Pentagon themselves.
@asteroidbook345 These patents are also very intriguing. I find it odd though how such patents are publicly viewable & available to the public, when it concerns legit anti-gravity technology, and if the US Navy is looking at developing it (or already developed it) to counter possible Chinese-advances in this radical field of aerospace, you'd think patents like that would be deeply classified.
@asteroidbook345
It seems impossible, and I thought a craft like this was impossible for a really long time too, or anything anti-gravity related, until I read this very interesting article.
Very sexy design!

+1That was the TR-3A "Black Manta", not the TR-3B "ASTRA". The thing is though, the F-117 already had sophisticated sensors to designate targets without a second aircraft, so I don't think the "TR-3A" was a flying laser-designator. Although something like the TR-3A Black Manta DEFINITELY exists, as flying-wing aircraft have been spotted over Texas and Kansas. It's either a tech demonstrator, a covert stealth bomber, or a recon aircraft.

I think the v-stab looks fine. The v-stab on the TBM-700/800/900 is more forward of the h-stab as well.

@JamesBleriot
Last I checked Aerostats don't go Mach +10 in the blink of an eye, go underwater or go into orbit.

It's not Russian or British, but it does look like an F-15 on crazy steroids.

Because it is? That incident legit happened; I didn't make it up. Here's the wiki page on the incident, and here's a re-enacted documentary on the incident.
Haven't flown it yet but it does look nice for a first plane!

They do, especially when your on the ground. And then you disable AG-8 and the craft rolls over and looks like a dead bug! lol
