    This is pretty neat.

    Kawamori does it again, lol

    The fighter mode looks awesome. Battroid does look kinda skinny. Not the biggest fan of those beam guns(?) above the head.

    Another trailer. Very flashy.

    Funky looking grid fins.

    Some nice Rafale M footage.

    Is this the first VF/SV with no vertical stabilizers?

    Excited to see that new VF in action, I dig the neon light strip look.

    Really like the updated two piece cockpit canopy on the AX. Pretty sleek.

    Yeah, pretty exciting development in engine tech.

    https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/ges-new-fighter-engine-just-blew-away-existing-jet-technology/ "GE’s new XA100 can produce a whopping 45,000 pounds of thrust, edging out the Pratt and Whitney’s F-135-PW-100 that currently powers America’s single-engine F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and making it a viable option for the conventional-runway iteration of the jet, the F-35A. This news comes amid ongoing concerns about F-35 engine availability and maintenance issues that could threaten as many as 20% of F-35s if a resolution isn’t found soon. While GE’s XA100 would not enter service in time to address these shortfalls, the new engine shines a light on the concept’s promising future, as well as other potential applications for this engine that span three fighter generations. According to Tweedie, the XA100’s “three-stream architecture” enables a doubling of thermal management capacity, or in other words, a real reduction in the heat created by the engine’s operation. That heat reduction is essential as modern aircraft shift away from traditional metal airframes and fuselages and toward more advanced composite materials. Heat is currently a limiting factor in power production, but that will no longer be the case with this new generation of powerplant."

    There's only so many ways you can skin a cat, as the saying goes. Personally, as long as the fighter and battroid modes look cool, I'm not too fussed if Kawamori reuses design elements, That said, we've yet to see the transformation sequence for that mystery VF...

    Tenjin and company has really been knocking it out the park with these Delta kit boxes, I really enjoy the glossy sheen on the more ornamental schemes.

    Not a surprise, the F-22s system architecture is notorious for being old and extremely fussy to update, from what I understand there's just not a whole lot they can do to upgrade without serious overhaul of the airframe, something that would be impossible due to the early shutdown of manufacturing lines a decade ago.

    Yep, this was just a test of the autonomy software. If you look at the other loyal wingmen concepts in development right now, almost all feature some sort of LO shaping.

    Kratos's website says the UTAP-22 is based upon the BQM-167A aerial target.

    Yeah, DCS and MFS2020 are truly mind blowing.
