Always loved to have an invisible airplane...
What, are you friends with Diana Prince?

Mike C. And dangerous.
I don't think the new prototype will be dangerous at all, unlike the first Raptor. There's simply no way this thing will ever get off the ground unless he pushes it off a cliff.

Didn't he base his entire design on the area rule, which did not even apply to his aircraft? That one was amazing to me as after being curious and googling it for 5 minutes I was able to figure that out.

Unstoppable motivation coupled with incurable ignorance is a dangerous combination. There's Howard Hughes crazy, and then there's really crazy. Mike C.
