Description
Mix of F-35 and F-16 stealthy Awesomeness that was never produced xD
does not look that stealthy...it looks more like it would have better aerodynamics since these delta wings wont make it stealth.
but pretty cool though
Actually, they do provide some stealthiness. You can see what parts of wings are marked here:

But it probably wouldn't provide enough stealthiness (like RAM), since it was canceled (It was proposed in 1990 as a low-cost alternative to the ATF)
bah...even the F117 cant provide enough stealth then this one would be totally obsolete...i cant even see internal weapon bays
it's rounded, which means it's not stealthy. Non stealth planes reflects radar beams difuse, in all directions, which means no matter how it's possitioned a couple of beams will be reflected to the radar.
A stealth plane reflects the beams like a mirror, in the same direction. This means it's a very small chance a beam reflects back to the source, the radar dish, but when it happends, the radar get's an Extremly powerful signal.
That's why everything on the F-22 have the same angle.
stealth (almost all angles): Sadpanda.us
Detected (only at like 6 possible angles): Sadpanda.us
Lawl, that was my logic too, I wonder why didn't they made rectangular intake =P
NATF f14/22 still better
Saving this for reference, might come to good use in a mod someday. ;)
You better save this, the complete ATF concept list:

I seen many similar aircraft that fit with this concepts :)
I have 3 views of most planes in that link already, which most of them are rare finds :P Thanks anyways but somewhat irrelevant as a reference.

Hey guys, inspired by that profile, i've built my model with a few differences. Check it out and let me know what you think: Whatifmodellers.com
