F-56 Lynx Concept

[ollys_aviation]

Hi guys, I created this account a while back because I wanted to share some of my aircraft. I think I'll start this thread off with the latest iteration of the Lynx. It is the 3rd Iteration of redesign and after being inspired by the FAR21 LMF design challenge, I would like to share my expertise(4 years) and receive some as well .

Looks quite nice. But it looks like it got 2 25mm guns like the F-35 has one. Quite a gunslinger

Haha yes indeed, I was thinking once I unwrapped the mesh I would make one side the gun and the other side the popout refueling probe

This was the second iteration(yellow) and first iteration btw, one done in 2021 and the other in 2024! The third is the original post!

Beautiful. Question : why that back hump canopy a la Mitsubishi F-1 ?

The plane itself is supposed to be a dual cockpit but it was a last minute decision to simply shove avionics and sensors there as opposed to a secondary person!
edit, Thank you

 

[ollys_aviation]

I am liking this desert tone, added sensors!

Now lets get back to the questions.
What is its size and what engine do you want to use / what would be the closest? But i have to say that the edge alignement looks very good from what i can see. Also does it have on the back a hatch for boom refueling?

Engines: Pratt and Whitney F119's for now but maybe a modified F-35A F135? It has to be capable of vectored thrust for sure.
The size is about the same as the F22, length wise 49.5 feet ish, 40.5 span wise. It mightttt have a backhatch but, I would have to see if it is necessary considering it has a boom of its own? @

Size comparison to an older f-22 model of mine!!

Size comparison to other models

 

[ollys_aviation]

It occurred to me that it is giving major J-20 Vibes

 

[ollys_aviation]

Folded winggg concept yay

 

[ollys_aviation]

Im giving it a bolt layout of something more 4th generation just because it is interesting

Tss tss... don't you know that "The optimum position for canards is on somebody else's aircraft."
Nice texture work fellow Blender user. Me like these diagonal bands camo à la F-16XL. Would look cool in JASDF colors too.

 

[ollys_aviation]

Taking forever to texture cus of school :C

Some of the elements seem like that they could be planform aligned more effectively... Granted, I'm not sure how vital that is, or if it can be harmful if done improperly, but in case it is vital and is hard to screw up, why not make certain features (wing-tips, canard leading edges) more aligned with the rest of the aircraft?

In any case, beautiful model. It'd go nicely in Ace Combat.

I am afraid I do not know what ya mean but, i'll look into it! in the meanwhile!

Very cool ! I know the previous images with the all orange fins was provisional, but that looked nice too. Like the old germans F-4F in Norm 81A/B camo scheme with orange painted fins for DACT trainings :

This image demonstrates it fairly concisely. As you can see, the stealthy design maintains the same angles for multiple design elements (elevators, wing, intake) so that radio waves are mostly reflected back to the RADAR along a very narrow line of sight.

Basically, if you look at your design from the top, it should have as many components (control surfaces, wings, intakes, etc.) as possible parallel to one another.

Look up planform alignment for better sources than me. I'm sure there are some caveats that I'm not aware of.

 

[ollys_aviation]

Starting the texture over from scratch yall, any ideas for skins?

 

[ollys_aviation]

Okay hear me out though

 

[galgot]

 

[ollys_aviation]

DEFINITELY one of the better choices for camo galgot

I promise I am not trying to spam but check out the rear timeline accurate comparisons of the F-56 like dayum. 2021, 2024 Summer, 2024 Autumn

I am so conflicted rn its unbelievable

Test Shot!!

It's a beauty ! my only concern, on the front view, the canopy looks very narrow. It's usually made more "bulbous" seen from front to make room for the guys heads that moves a lot during dogfights/maneuvers. Afraid the helmets would be banging on the sides here.

Very Fair! In this case tho the plane is like kinda huge in comparison so a sacrifice between aerodynamics and turn space was made

ollys_aviation, did I calculate correctly, the length is 22.651 mm / 63.23 ft, the wingspan is 16 m / 52.5 ft ?

Something like that :skull:

 

[ollys_aviation]

Made the B variant have a more formal camo and the A variant the prototype camo o.o
