AVIATION PING!.................
Those AI mockups don’t look like they have a 2,000 mile range.
Good idea though. Prefer a MOAB++ on a missile above every airfield, missile launch sites, and weapons factory, and naval shipyard for starters. Clean up the aircraft that gets through with human remotely operated smart drones. Both could be operated from same type of area as the x-bat.
Non nuclear MAD can work also.
Uh huh.....
Me-262 had minimal effect of military value. It took an incredible share of German War Ministry resources, consumed vast amounts of scarce, synthetically-manufactured fuel, and had a very high ratio of maintenance hours to flight hours.
Hitler and Goering were fixated on the idea that German technology would neutralize American industrial productivity.
The Me-262 did have a psychological effect on American pilots who saw it in action, but little else.
This looks like it is less than half the size of a RQ-4 Global Hawk while outperforming it. A mockup, a few CGI pictures, and a sales pitch is not a deliverable product.
Color me skeptical, this looks like vaporware.
I don’t see any pictures of one in the air.
I don’t see any vectored thrust arrangement. How would it be controlled when first taking off?
