FA/XX impression WIP

[ar020]

Currently working on a single engined FA/XX Naval fighterjet. Work in progress. The thread will be updated with more info and renders coming soon.

I'm assuming that this is a single F135 engine (same as F-35C), and an airframe stretched to close to max aircraft carrier elevator dimensions?

I have doubts as to the likelihood of a single-engined design being selected, but your design doesn't look impossible.

I do have a couple questions about it, however.

One is what angles do your canards match? They don't appear to match any leading or trailing edges on the airframe, and that violates a general rule for stealth.

The second question is about the weapon it is carrying. The fins make it look like a Sidewinder, but the body diameter is way off for that. What is that weapon supposed to be?

That aircraft deck landings going to be exciting.
At high AOA zero visibility on the deck for the pilot.
Maybe automated deck landings??

Possibly or a front mounted camera system that like the F35 enables the pilot to see through the aircraft.

Final edits. I made sure the landing gear is nice and sturdy.
