Unknown cool futuristic Fighter Jet...

[retroborg]

Anyone know what this cool looking fighter jet is?!
It lools like the YF-21 from Macross Plus!

[mallett]

It looks like the jet from the film stealth... Can't remember what its called though

EDIT:
A quick google says that its a 'F/A-37 Talon' and that only 3 were fictionally ever built

But wouldn't rule out the likely possibility that I'm wrong!

[kalniel]

Yeah, it's the fictional plane from Stealth. ('F/A 37 Talon')

[Salazaar]

Ahhh Stealth, a 'flipping' awful film.

[retroborg]

The one on the top photo looks like the jet from stealth, but the bottom photo looks like a different concept plane!
Are you sure they're both from Stealth?

[Stoo]

yup, it's been done to death all over the place

[mediaboy]

I'd say it was fairly obvious that the top one is from a film.... The fact that the plane is heading towards the camera and is fairly close gives it away

I couldn't have looked at second one and said it was from a film straight off though.

I know what you mean, the bottom pic is very well done and could easily be real

...in my eyes anyway

[mediaboy]

I don't know.. I've never been on an airfield.. Does it look real?

[Stoo]

If you google around there are other pictures from various angles..

in fact, this is the best set, complete with Jessica Biel

No. Not to me at least.

[Salazaar]

No. Not to me at least.

Agreed, it looks fat and un-aerodynamic. Tiny wings with strange flappy leading edges combined with a bulky fuselage and a droopy cockpit which looks like it's actually designed to create drag!

I'd say it'd drop out of the sky but I doubt it'd ever get up there to drop from.

The reason it looks real is probably because it is 'real'. As in it's a full scale model of the ficticious jet portrayed in the movie....As opposed to computer graphics...
