I've lurked here since a little before covid but the NGAD announcements got me to want to start participating. I'm a visual artist and I think the spellbinding and otherworldly appearance of VLO aircraft is what really drives my interest in aerospace, but I've loved it all since I was a kid.

Hi, I am 65 year old engineer and live in Sweden. Not connected to SAAB, but I know a few guys that has been involved in their projects. My closest connection to Gripen is when one of the prototypes crashed a few hundred meters from my apartment right in front of me.
Hi everyone,
I’m Roshan, currently working at the intersection of robotics and vehicle design. My background spans mechanical engineering and data science, and I’ve always been drawn to unconventional vehicles that push the boundaries of conventional design.
One such fascination that’s stayed with me over the years is the world of ekranoplans. There’s something incredibly captivating about how these craft operate in the ground effect zone—balancing between air and sea, combining the best of both domains. Whether it’s the massive Soviet-era Lun-class or modern concepts for cargo transport, I’m constantly amazed by their potential and the engineering that goes into them.
I joined this forum to learn more from those who have researched, designed, or just deeply appreciated WIG craft and similar experimental platforms. I’m here to absorb as much knowledge as I can, exchange ideas, and maybe even contribute with some of my own technical explorations.
Looking forward to diving into discussions and learning from all of you!

Greetings all!
I'm Nick, a 31-year-old Science Writer originally from Indiana but living in Maryland near D.C.
I stumbled across this forum a few days ago in my search for photos of aircraft from Boeing's X-Wing project, which I was looking for to get references for a speculative fiction art project inspired by some of those designs. I've always been fascinated by X planes and the like, and I'm eager to find out more about the history of this topic and see some examples.
Glad to meet you all - here's hoping we can chat soon
