Squale - Fictionnal concept of 5th generation european fighter

[drakken]

6 years ago, I have designed this concept of a 5th generation european fighter. Its name is Squale.
The main specs are:
Length: 18 meters
Wing span: 13 meters
Speed: Mach 2+
stealth capability, vector thrust and air superiority
Weaponry: 6 Meteor missiles, 2 Mica missiles, 1 Nexter 30M 791 30 mm gun

Now it's time to share it with you.

very cool

 

[Colonial-Marine]

It's a very attractive fighter for sure. Nice work.

 

[Ray]

Looks like the offspring of an F-22 and an F-23. Good looking aeroplane.

 

[drakken]

Thanks for your words guys.
Yes F-22 and YF-23 (and many other projects and concepts) have inspired me for this baby.

Yeah, what a nice successor could have been for the Panavia Tornado and the Dassault Mirage 2000N/2000D.
I know, that the Eurofighter Typhoon , the Dassault Rafale and the LM F-35 have taken that role in the real world.

[Foo Fighter]

Agreed, very nice. A sharp result.

 

[Grey Havoc]

Seconded.

 

[SpudmanWP]

Needs an IRST (or two)

 

[djfawcett]

Looks a bit like Tempest ....... but much prettier! ;D

 

[Anderman]

Looks a bit like Tempest ....... but much prettier! ;D

Came to same conclusion

 

[Avimimus]

Me too! Although perhaps said more colourfully.

 

[Archibald]

Squale mean shark in French, but also sounds like squall, which translates as... Rafale. The irony !

A funny coincidence

Came to same conclusion

Just seen some Tempest pictures and its design is close similar to my concept. Probably same inspiration comming from F22/YF23/X32/X35.

 

[galgot]

Missed that one. Very nice !
The wing especially looks surprisingly a lot like the Tempest .

 

[MaxLegroom]

Nice design, seems like it'd actually be quite stealthy.
