    That thing is so cool looking.
    Long time back an airliner had a close encounter with a UFO the pilots described as “looking like the front end of a SR-71 with fins on it” and had some sort of a canopy on its top.
    That was probably the Bird Of Prey or a close relative.

    Admin —

    Do you have any blueprints of this you’d be willing to give out, or at least sell? The YF-23 plans were an excellent find on your part.

    All I’ve seen is a fairly basic three-view.

    Looks RADAR stealthy. But how tight a turn can it make, and how fast can it go, without stalling the engine inlet?

    I actually liked Tacit Blue myself.
    A shuttlecraft with wings.
