Still a work in progress and will be updating the thread with more shots and renders of the production and design descisions.

That's some very impressive work, thanks for sharing

Little update. So this is the basic concept:
- Twin engined variable cycle engines.
- Two seater with WSO being the unmanned Flying Wingman operator.
- Side mounted IRTS and EOTS system with a vastly increased operating area.
- Front/rear mounted EOTS system with a wider spectrum due to shape and flush integration in fueselage.
- Innovating top mounted IR and Radar decoy launcher carrying small diameter missiles.
- B21 style leading-edge arrays AESA radar.
- Innovating stealth intake concept with priority for reducing the RCS from below.
- Innovative 2D thrust vectoring engine nossles for improved maneuverability.
- Innovative cooling system within the engine nossles.
- Top mounted missile bays for improved stealth missile launch.
- Mixed Delta/Flying wing concept a la B21 Raider.
- Innovating top mounted Chaff deployer.
- Interchangeble front mounted High energy laser system or Gun system.







Love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

What are you using for modeling and rendering?

Cinema 4D and Corona Renderer. You model?

I like it a lot, very cool design, U.S Air force take some notes on this one

Beautiful ! I like these innovative style intakes, dunno if that would work but sure looks good.
Only thing that bothers me are the markings. Regulation USAF roundels placement is only on top left wing, and on under right wing. With the top star branch pointing forward (it's pointing rear on the bottom ones here). Maybe smaller and just plain lighter grey would be good too, like this :


Just my 2€ cents.

Thanks for the nice words. Could you eleborate as to why the intakes wouldn’t work? Thats some great feedback and well spotted. I will fix it for the next ones.

Didn't say it wouldn't work, I said I don't know if it would work, as I'm no aeronautic engineer What is certain for me, is that it looks good.

Nice work. I think the dorsal missiles are probably more trouble than they're worth, the aero surfaces on the trailing edge look a bit odd. But seriously nice work.
