Narwhal Asymmetric Jet Fighter of 1981 ?

[hesham]

From Aviation magazine 1981,

in its section about real aircraft and projects,I find this Asymmetric Jet Experimental
concept,maybe a fighter ?!.

Surprisingly attractive!

Please note the date in right-lower corners of both pages: 1-4-81. It means 1 April 1981, the April Fool's Day. Each year on that day newspapers and magazines publish jokes, hoaxes, fake news etc. Such as that on the assymetrical jet.

"Université de Vaduzgrad" was also a subtle hint...

 

[Ravinoff]

Fake, but certainly wouldn't be out of character for Burt Rutan/Scaled Composites (the ARES with its gun on one side and intake on the other) or Blohm & Voss circa 1944 or so.

 

[hesham]

If we are so sure,that it's fake,we can transfer it to a proper section,
but; why they put it in their real section,if you notice that,there is a
Mirage-2000 in the corner below.

To make it seem more believable...? One of the greatest April Fools jokes ever in the UK was broadcast by Panorama, a well respected current affairs programme...
