"The design had some points of interest: a sliding nose was fitted, so that the pilot had a better view on landing, yet the aircraft would be aerodynamically smoother at high speeds. Elaborate arrangements were also made for enabling the 2 crew members to eject safely."

Yes. ;) It's very hard for me to understand her full‐bosomed style exactly. ;D
I believe only Jozef-san can understand this aircraft by his 3D modeling.

Something of a familial resemblance to the 53 and 177, so, did SR have a problem with originality?
