I am playing around in CAD at the moment with some of the modern stealth fighters. Specifically the F35, F22 and F23.
Of all of them I'm liking the shape of the F23 the most. That is one funky fuselage.
Now, as far as PSS goes I am thikning that these wings are absolutely terrible. Great big chords at the root and massive difference between root and tip chord.
I have a few questions for the list.
1. Has anyone sloped a stealth fighter with a realistically scale wing? 2. Should I fatten the foil at the root to be a more normal thickness? Scale has me at about 5% and I was going to try a MH32 to start which is more at home at 8.7%. 3. Are the ducts going to be significant? Will air flow through them and will this reduce drag for a PSS version?
Anyone want to chime in?
Regards Marty
PS. I think I posted this in the wrong section initially. My apologies.

My thoughts are (now that I've replied to the other thread ;D)
1) No, buy keep it light and it'll be fine. Make sure to have wash out! 2) Yes, as per my other reply. 3) I used to leave my intakes open and let the air flow through. Last time out I covered over them with some clear tape and it (Lander Hunter) flew a LOT better so I'd close them off.
