“Looks like the A-10’s pretty younger sister.”
And, as yet, still a virgin.
Notice...
* Leading Edge Slots.
* The airfoil may be a low drag laminar type, unless it is me, I see reflex as it heads towards the trailing edge.
* Small Winglets and large lower droop tip variant to control wingtip Vortices.
* Notice the LEX on the main wing and a small on on the Canard.
* My guess is the Canard is more of a large Vortex Generator at High Alpha vs. Pitch Control given we have a conventional Stabilator.
* Tall Twin tails for maneuverability again in High Alpha.
* Notice the small engine air inlet just aft of the Canard.
* Notice the rectangular outlet under the Counter-Rotating Propeller Assembly for exhaust outlet. M concern is with a pusher and this location is Noise, you might here it coming from quite a ways away.
* While it has a twin boom for the Vertical Stabs, I do not see them deep enough to house a semi retracted gear like on the A-10 and many a Russian design to prevent damage during wheels up.
I didn't know their was a RFP for a COIN type A-10 replacement. I have a configuration in mind that would be way cool and work. I need to get cracking on the model...
