It is a nice vehicle but not necessarily nice as a space craft. It is more
reminiscent of a F-15 Eagle or a F-16 Tomcat. If this was going to be an
air craft, then I would say that it is a nice piece of art but this is a
design that seems to me, at least in my opinion, that does not work with the
general concept of space fighter craft. I like the design but I do not
believe that outer space is the best idea for this particular vehicle.

| (...) It's not a space craft. It's just a futuristic jet. I posted to .space because many of the space folk are interested in this genre of creations as well, and there is no specific "air" group. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.build)
