Description
Not wishing to presuppose real bad art I propose that some of my viewers think my art on occasions is less than pedestrian it is just plain boring. Contemplating use of brute force when you have gone to a lot of trouble to include a sophisticated wing is a slow paced thing. You can use it maybe just 65% and get a payoff in airfield compatibility sufficient to use a short deck and no catapult. It gets hard to explain that the exhaust works better when the deck is not right up to the jet pipe. That is why rocket launch facilities have flame trenches to allow 3rd law and high gas velocity at the nozzle not some sort of gas bubble that it floats on, "pushing" on the surface. The wing works better in ground effect but if the deck is not wide enough that effective aspect ratio is minimized. What does happen as the airplane leaves the deck and nearness to a surface for this specific mix of vectored nozzle and wing?

I had the privilege to see Harriers up close and flying.they were impressive but not to all the pilots that lost their life's crashing them.luckily yours will not crash or even fly but outstanding detail is the rule of thumb.I do not know what version yours is actually.may not be a Harrier
Very interesting aircraft. Excellent work with great details!
The thrust vectoring nozzles on a Harrier are on the sides in the middle. They are also four in number, two for fan and two for exhaust. The same considerations apply.
Impressive realization.....!!!
Like I mentioned before I do not know much about planes but I do see great modeling work as I can never imagine how you do all of it I'm sure its time consuming :: great indeed!!~
Is that kind of humour ?
It's magic. Lift, thrust, drag, it's all magic!!! :)
nice work...
I've saw this concept airplane in a "blue paper" it'a in a more advanced stage?
like the vector, victor...;) keep 'em coming...
lol you make this looke real from a blueprint. cool work
This is the strangest looking VTOL I have ever seen... how does it stabilize? I read your comment about the Harrier, but I only see one exhaust?
Excellent image. 5+.
The JSF is a triumph of design ideas melded to make the holy grail of military aviation , a real multi role platform, perhaps the last of the great manned jets. good render highlighting a unique aspect.
