I quite like that Monacoan (?) roundel.

Monacan or Monnegasque are the proper adjectives, IIRC (though the latter is mainly linked to the local language and the ruling family).

With the possible cancellation of Canada's F-35 commitment, it's time to start designing alternatives.

Is that a beaver on the roundel?

There was some recent controversy about the depiction of a maple leaf on the $20 bill. It's a Norway maple leaf. Until they firmly establish the correct species of national leaf emblem, I've decided to go to the default Canadian emblem that everyone accepts without question. With more character than a leaf, the beaver is an ambitious and destructive dam-builder with a winsome toothy smile. As a rodent, it also better represents our usual political orientation.

If it only had an engine. Wings and tail plus 60%

It had an engine. R-4360. 3,450 hp., 490 mph.

Reminds me of your Fugu design.

Is that a six-bladed prop, or a pair of counter-rotating 3 bladed ones?

Two three-bladed contra-rotating Aeroproducts propellers on the second prototype, on an extended shaft.

I did a Fugu design? Must be the oldsheimers.

I was looking for something else when I found this. Prone pilot butterfly tailed floatplane fighter armed with 15 rounds per gun of 5" rocket cannon X2. It may not be awesome but it certainly is surreal. Needs a reclining pilot position.

I haven't been idle. A new blue-water skooter and an Aussie mightabee.

This thread needs more "space"

Just the latest.

Re Shuttle C: I'm asking question No.1: Cost per launch?

 

[cortz#9]

Just the latest.

Too cool!

All those aircraft for Monaco and not a single fighter devoted to the Vatican Air Force. I imagine they'd fly F-8 Crusaders.
