Description
Τhe XF-452 is an futurictic combat jet.

Looking at distinct feature of this one, which are canard layout, a low aspect ratio gull-shaped wing, tail-less layout (with small ventral fin), engine intake placed at top surface, I can make some conclusions about my ideas when I was drawing this one: maybe I thought about 5th gen jet fighter, but this is an old design (lineart was made 5 years ago) and I forget my true reasoning... This one have a lot of design fault (e.g. flow field at jet-intake at high AoA will be strongly non-uniform or engine nacelle very short for accomodate jet engine with afterburner) but overall I like it badass look. Maybe some days I'll redesing it.

Also I have side view (made in 2014) of this one: www.deviantart.com/thexhs/art/…
