Realistic Sci-fi

Post pics, not necessary fiction, some existing projects are good, as long as they look cool and futuristic
Will start with these

Wait a second. stealth AWACS actually makes sense

I struggle to believe something that flies an entire M60 or Abrams with some CRAMs thrown in would be able to land on such a short coastline

Not really, an AWACS isn't doing it's job if it's not radiating.
A “stealth-AWACS” is like saying “deathless-murder”.

it's impossible to hide something that is basically screaming IM RIGHT HERE

I like how those look.

Why not. It's not a plane it's just a giant hovering boat. It probably decelerates in water before landing. But I'm not an expert

Prototype was built, but articulating arm-turrets never caught on even though a few countries thought they would be good for guns and ATGMs.
Kind of like how a lot of naval designers thought Trimarans would be the new trend.

It's like they are insisting on a flame out during pitch movement

Wouldn't this thing be incredibly unstable under pitch?

The Canards probably wouldn't be used for pitch control, instead their deflection angle would be set according to angle of attack, used both to regulate stability and as a vortex generator to improve the lift over the wing.

This is how the delta canards usually work (ie: rafale, eurofighter, possibly J-20)

The problem is that those kinds of diverterless intakes are a massive pain in the ass, they still haven't really figured them out yet.
On top of that they are on the top of the aircraft, so they also have to deal with flow seperation at high AOA.
And then on top of that (!) They have to deal with potential turbulent flow coming from the Canards, if they are generating a vortex.

It looks like something that's maybe possible, but definately not worth the massive pain in the ass.

I've never seen a hovercraft with 4 turbines and wings and aft fins, but hey idk what's the plan here, maybe it's amphibious like the old plane-boats. Loads up, boats over, empties, then flies back or something. Unless it's just a slow girl and lands in the water

F-15J Kai+ from the movie "Patlabor 2".
Concept by Shoji Kawamori, better known for his work on Macross and Transformers.

It looks like a Ground Effect Vehicle, like the Soviet Ekranoplans. The short version of the science is that is if you go fast really low to the surface, the efficiency of your wings goes way up.

I just thought it was funny because I totally thought it was a plane too, felt like a retard when I got what the image was going for.

Yeah and those are poorly designed, undermanned, and have no capable captains. Let’s not forget the pitch to have USMC squadrons based on them.

Depending on when this was released these 2 basically came true with the F-35 and F-16

thought they said it was an old Brit mag. In that case, they're 100% right

Irrelevant.

We are truly undeserving of such a timeline.
