That is a pretty cool looking plane on display. Now all they have to do is figure out how to build an engine for it.

They don't have any exhaust. An engine would melt the plane :mj07: :mj07:

I just laugh looking at the pictures, how serious they are trying to make it and how ridiculous it all is. That poor pilot has stones of steel to not laugh in that cockpit, it looks like an Atari console :mj07:

This has to be a ruse. First of all, if you look at the mating surface of the canopy there is absolutely zero chance that this aircraft is pressurized. There is no split line to blow the canopy and no lock downs. The aircraft nose looks like a dope and fabric design where there is a split in the seam up front. Also look at the thickness of the side panels in the cockpit. They are plastic interior side panels. There is no structural support, the skin is about half as thick as it would need to be plus needing stringers for support. Best of all, the pilot would freeze to fucking death as there isn't any insulation in the cockpit, no seal on the canopy, and no heating ducts for bleed air heat. That's just what I see, not including the piss poor avionics.
