It's better than a lot of slogans from OTL. The hard part would be living up to it.Believe me, I had a hard time thinking of something catchy, but not cheesy. I still think this isn't the best slogan in the world, but it's better than nothing.

Well, if you read that TL, you'll notice that the airline is very succesful worldwide and has only grown over the decades. (Though it's still possible they might suffer some commercial blows to their glory in the future.)
I haven't read it yet but I have it Bookmarked so I'll get to it one of these days.
I read that as "Northrop Cries".
Why should they ? It's not a bad-looking flying wing !
I took the name Aries because the name, and mission, "Flying Ram" seems too gruesome. The wing leading edges were supposed to be reinforced to permit chopping the tails off of enemy bombers, this while laying on your belly with your chin in a padded cup. My preference tends towards the recliner, one hand bracing the stick, the other ensuring my coffee doesn't go flying out of the holder while manoeuvering for a shot with the twin M-39 revolver cannons rechambered for 30mm., AKA, ADEN or DEFA. Additional aerodynamic alterations to prevent divergence from predictable flight modes. The font is French Script, but Northrop Cries will do as a name for a weepon that tears across the sky.
Any further information? The tires are wider than the wing into which they retract.
Why need? The wheels don't fit. The winglets are aesthetically challenged and armament is limited to two guns. What reb would utilize such a machine? Settle down and eat some harmony grits.
Me-109 body, with a 262 tail and canopy, it's so kool, and the winglets give it a modern touch, like a "time traveler" had a hand in it.
i am going to vote for a Reb aircraf, but i will leave that up to you i just would like to see you do one.btw, i LOVE grits!
Don't remember where I got the pic, found in my tank file don't know what it was doing there.
Sorry I can't give more info. Aside from the wheels being too big I agree with Wingman it's a cool looking plane, very sleek.
Why'd you change the engine? It looked sleeker in the pic I posted.
Your landing gear makes more sense though.
The Germans had the best annular rad in the business, so how could I say no. The oil cooler in the original drawing is a little harsh in the intake lip and not as sleek as OTL units. The wing rads use space for fuel. The undercart doors are homage to Sir Sydney Camm. I did retain the 4-bladed prop, quite un-German, but popular with those who like grits. I installed wing root guns because it's a whimsical drawing not requiring the services of a structural engineer, who would have yelled at me and spit in my grits. The context screams for a broader chord semi-elliptical planform, but I just turned up the music. Fire all of my guns at once and explode into space.
