I'm designing a model for a jet design. It's a combination of an X-29 jet, and the new F-22, F-35 stealth jets. I wanted a forward wing design due to high maneuverability and lower speeds needed to keep the jets airborne. at the same time wanted to use the stealth smoothed and jagged design to bounce the radar signals off…
I'm in the process today of creating a brand new design for this project of mine. thanx to both Inside and Impala88 to both of your ideas for the design and the pics for ref. With the input i'm actually going back and using a more sr-71 look I think with the SU-47's wing design(both main and tail) and its design as a…
This is the redone mopped up design of the original jet. I looked at the canard design of other aircraft and found that most eurofighter designs had them no father down than the front of the cockpit. I did find most of them were right about where I have them now on this design, but Would like input from others on that as…
This is the un smoothed view of the redesign. Its got the sr-71's nose design basics as a built in canard design. Both Intakes go into one engine, and this one is using the top intake design to see how it looks and what people think of it. this is the smoothed look of the redesign I like the yf-23's tail design along with…
I did a redesign on the jet using basic cone with low edges and only added cuts where needed to keep the edge count down as much as possible. The design in slightly different to move the canards back and add in a diff style tail wing. hope this is a better design, but sorta want to widen the body like the original design.
Thank you for the advice Brendan, For this design I wanted to more of a rid-range recon jet since the over all model is so small and single engine. Something that could be launched from an overseas base to do intelligence work and go back to base. I will try my hand at a new design after I work out this one as my prototype…
thanks for the Input once again, I did some research into forward swept wings and came upon this link to the history of it. http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Evolution_of_Technology/foward_sweep/Tech9.htm It gave me some incite into how I might design this better along with this image of the YF-23 and how its…
OK, I'm going to assume the entire leading and trailing edges of the wing are control surfaces, as are the trailing edges of the tail and the canards. Aerodynamically, it seems like it's going to be too unstable - the centre of pressure looks like it's going to be way too far forward as soon as it's not going dead…
