I'm a bit confused by the canopy. It looks like it has a complex cage structure from the top view, but it looks like a bubble canopy from the side.
It looks to me like it was meant to be a stealth fighter, but it can also travel at mach 3. from what I've read, some of the materials used to reduce the F-22's radar cross section are heat-sensitive. This limits the F-22's top speed because of the heat generated at higher speeds. I assume that either your aircraft does not possess these materials, or has some very advanced, heat-tolerant version of them?

If one uses carbon fiber thermoplastics, you can achieve heat tolerances in the double digit Mach numbers while still maintaining a lower RCS.
Granted, this design was before I had much detailed knowledge of military aviation.
