I don't believe there is anyway that shape will work supersonic. This is either a hoax or profoundly incompetent.
Mike C. It's Russian; why can't it be both?!?

Looks like a British Vulcan mated with a B-2.....with a little Klingon Warbird somewhere in the woodpile....

I agree with Mike. None of that geometry looks conducive to supersonic flight.

Never said I believed it Mike. Just thought it was interesting, especially with it being a v-tail.
Ya know what really gnaws at me though?
It's your acerbic tone in almost every one of your posts. You've been here for what, 6 months? And yet everyone of your responses, to that of anyone else, has a boorish condescending edge to it.
That's not the accepted decorum here Mike. We, for the most part, are gentlemen and ladies, and we tend to treat one another accordingly.
This isn't some gamer's site where smarta$$ dialogue is the norm.
I'm not asking for you to agree with me, or anyone else here for that matter Mike, but I am asking why you insist on being so uncivil?
