    Hi All,
    You have to admit it is the best looking stealth fighter despite even if only having a small RCS it the lines if the aircraft not angular like todays stealth the Germans where at the forefront of this technology and everything else followed and as time marched on so did designs but this thread is about the best looking and this has that by a mile closely followed by the YF-23.

    Wow! That plane scares me to this day. Just to think how lucky we were that it did not enter production or world war 2 would have ended rather differently.

    I flew in a A-310 going on holiday to Corfu many years ago, so the A-320 would make an excellent choice for an MPA for the real world. The A-350 was only me day dreaming.

    Whoops! There goes that idea! Anyone for the A-350? I know it is brand new but with a few modifications I think it would make a great European alternative to the P-8.

    Something like a MPA variant of the Airbus A340 since it has twin engines and the range, failing that, how about the P-8 as that is the only realistic option the UK has.

    The YF-23 then the Pak -Fa, it is strange the Pak -Fa nose is almost similar to the YF-23 nose pure coincidence or have the Sukhoi designers arrived at the same conclusion as the Northrop designers did back in the late 1980s.

    What about the mighty TSR2. I have been re reading Damien Burkes book about it and it make me angry that the new government of the day canclled it even thought two prototypes were flying at the time, plus all the money that was spent on developping it with all the advanced technology that went into it.

    Not Again!

    Hi All, Looks like this program will run and run, Boeing were the ones who screwed up the last program, and this program was supposed to be open unlike the last one that Boeing won, I fear for the future of the USAF tanker fleet with this decision and that it will also bring all future programs into disrepute.
