Cutaway FMA IA-63 Stealth Pampa, speculative interpretation (in progress) to achieve a small and economical "Stealth" light attack aircraft, starting from the base of a basic Pampa and making modifications that allow it to be less visible to radar, I take some time to think about the necessary changes that would achieve the objective of greater discretion for what I decided on the solution of adding two separate "FAST Tanks" or tanks shaped to the fuselage, these with a very open "V" design to hide the contours of the fuselage At the same time that they allow to increase the amount of fuel that can be transported, the exhaust of the engine gases had to be lengthened (decreasing the exit temperature of the gases and protecting the engine), finishing them in a flat design in ” V”, the air intakes became simpler, lighter and more discreet, a solution already seen in other aircraft such as the J-10C, JF-17 III and the F-35, single-seat cabin making use of the rear seat providing greater height and visibility despite the fact that the deck is a little lower, the wing stations or hardpoints carry discrete containers to carry laser-guided bombs or the most modern glider bombs, it is also capable of carrying infrared self-defense missiles. The tail surfaces is where you really make the most significant changes by increasing the negative dihedral and eliminating drift leaving only a small vertical surface for the sake of greater discretion, in the nose I speculate with the ability to install a small AESA type radar and a slightly faceted nose, a no less important detail is its wings which, being an efficient supercritical profile, do not require changes, I only added extensions to its marginal edges with a small positive dihedral, fairing its aileron and flap joints for the sake of discretion. In short, an exercise in "Fan Art" to only answer the question What if...?, author Aviagraphica and modified by Motocar
