Looking for Super - Super Hornet design

[thefrecklepuny]

Did someone on this thread create a highly modded version of an F/A-18 Super Hornet that looked similar to a stealthy A-5 Vigilante?

Dr Dmitri Mavris of Georgia Tech wrote a paper in 1998 showing a highly modified F/A-18 with internal weapons.

You could certainly "upscale" a Superbug to... Hyperbug with F110s or F119s more powerful turbofans (F414 are compact but not the most powerful engines out there). And yes - the size and weight of a Vigilante. Or a Tomcat. Some Super Tomcat designs come to mind, also NATF. Overall shape might be a KF-21 Boramae, which looks like a shrunk F-22 with Superbug engines. So scale it up to NATF size.

Yes. That's the one. Thanks.
