I don't think this looks ugly at all, despite what some people might say (at least this art rendition of it and not the actual demonstration design).
Change your mind? Why? It'sI don't think this looks ugly at all, despite what some people might say (at least this art rendition of it and not the actual demonstration design).
Change my mind.
that looks like an F8 crusader front end
It should be nicknamed the Escher Plane
The Boeing EX, an hypothetical joined winged aircraft meant to replace the E-2C that would have radar and sensors in it’s wings.
since this is obviously post Voyagers return, wouldn't the ship now have the Voyager type deployable armour and Transphasic torpedos (and maybe even a transphasic cloak)?Changed the edition again, mostly because it gives me more room to play with and making it a post-war one gives me the possibility to use all my ideas.

btw the transphasic cloak is essentially what was tested on the Pegagsus that was later retrieved by the Enterprise.The armour and the torpdoes would pretty much break the setting, so in that version, the generator burnt out and was unsalvageable, though it did give them some pointers towards next-gen hull construction methods, some of which all post-Engame ships have. All Starfleet vessels carry a few transphasic torpedoes, but they are only to be used against the Borg or under very extreme circumstances taht the responsible officer will have to justify with Starfleet Command later.

USAF B-49 Bomber nick-named Bob's Boomerang being prepped for it's fateful nuclear strike on China after MacArthur's push into Manchuria during the Korean War (1950-54). Boomerang was the only aircraft of it's strike group to make it back to friendly territory and now occupies honored space at the National Air and Space Museum next to the B-29 Enola Gay. The aircraft commander, Maj. Robert "Bob" Davidson retired a short tie after the completion of this mission and refused award of the the Air Medal and the Medal of Honor. Davison lived the remainder of his life in relative seclusion in his home near Seattle and died (of causes which remain unclear to this day) in 1972. Davidson, and this mission were famously portrayed in the 1955 movie Strategic Air Command starring Jimmy Stewart.
