Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Looks like someone spent too much time looking at the F7U.
What does the AIAA offer that a non-engineer would find membership a Good Idea?
…Scott, I’ve noticed this about the last few of the small drawings you’ve posted here and on Secret Projects: that light blue color you’re using for the lines make them damn near invisible. Could you consider using flat black and a slightly larger line thickness? Us blind guys would appreciate it!
Oh, I like that one! Has a swoopy “Buck Rogers” look about it, combined with terrible landing visibility for the pilot to keep his life exciting.
> that light blue color you’re using
Nioope. Everything here is grayscale. And if’n you want a better-vis version… buy the book and download the high-res drawings.
