Makes me think of the Senior Citizen project. Very cool.

Nice plane. Those engines look pretty powerful, maybe for supersonic speeds. Also looks a little heavy, so I guess trying to take her for a joyride is unadvisable.

I like it! A stealth transport is a excellent idea.

NICE! Can it have Close-range-support functionality?

You know you have troops a few too many places you aren't supposed to when someone decides to design a plane just for it.

This looks pretty good for dropping Special Forces.

damn that's a fast looking aircraft looks like it doing Mach 2 while it sitting still.

Heh. It's subsonic, Mach 0.9.

aw it still looks cool. nice design. what's the purpose of the windows below the cockpit?

electro-optical sensor systems

ah thanks, so it picks up electronic signals from potential treats?

I think about usage it for landing and navigation without external electronic system, VOR/NDB or ILS.

sound like something that would be very useful for fliying in extreme conditions.

Yeah, extreme conditions, off-airport landing, at hidden usage, behind enemy line

very cool, but could it be tracked back to the aircraft?

Passive mode, without any radiations

In active mode - yes, optical "radar" (same, that installed on Su-27 or Mig-29), but in passive mode - more like to TV-camera (IR and UV included) or highly upgraded eyes)

yeah i was thinking along similar -but simpler- lines

Вообще я думал о темно-сером, с фрагментами черного и темно-синего, ночной... но увы, как думал не получилось, с традиционными средствами у меня не всегда получается задуманный цвет получить...
Серый получился больно светлый, синий недостаточно темный, и края пиксельных пятен смазались.

Does it have any sort of STOL capability? Those flaps almost look like they're blown flaps.
I really like the little EO turret in front of the cockpit, BTW
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, STOL included
Blown flaps (heh, before I read your comment, I didn't knew, that this called "blown flaps" on english, only russian term "закрылки с сдувом погранслоя" - we studied this feature at aerodynamics lectures, and I knew about its usage at Mig-21 and Su-15)
Also I think about TVC, besides flaps.

The example I always remember was the Bristol Buccaneer, which had blowing on just about everything - flaps, wing and tailplane.
Looking at the size of the wings vs the engines, it looks like one fast little transport

Yes, some influence of Speed Agile exist)))
But i want light aircraft, with 5..7 tonnes of payload.
