Am I wrong, or do those women look "aggressive"?

 

Uhm... sir... is your A7 trying to slow down, or is it just excited to see me?

Not the only one the Navy passed up. This one was built and moored at my shipyard for a while. It was pretty damn cool.

Or was it so stealthy that no one has ever reported seeing it, therefore it was/is a success.

Awkward aircraft #20250202 - Miles M.39B:


 

In defense of its awkwardness, it was more or less built just to see if something this weird would fly.  It did.

Better make sure the pilot is at least minimum weight or cg will be jacked.

Ballistic parachute at tail because this aircraft was unstable beyond pilot control without computer assistance, in the mid to late 80s

In reply to stafford1500 :

M.39 was a tandem wing aircraft. They have incredible ranges of CG. Enough that even a Cessna 172 would shudder. laugh

Of course Rutan built one.
