Description
The F24 Manta is a close air support stealth fighter, it is my own design the most noticeable features dispite the aerodynamic configuration are the semi proned pilot position and the flapless controls the two give us an aircraft with low frontal surface area, the landing gears would be attached on each wingtip and centrally on the fuselage.Software used : 3Dsmax, Vray, PS.

How would the center wing effect landings? I imagine you'd have to be able to either fold it to one side, or land the entire craft at anangle.

That's the inspiration, tho i used no blueprints nor sketches before modelling it was all an improvisation!

The aircraft has no mechanical controls, but a flapless system which is a serie of little nozzles from which compressed air is ejected.

i was thinking aeroelastic wings

Aerolastic should be used to replace usual flaps during landing and take off.

Awesome. Has some features that are on the Boeing Bird of Prey and my aircraft design that I haven't posted yet (stealthy FSW Air Sup./Multi-role). I like it alot. Keep up the good work.

You're very welcome.
You know I'll post the last image I did of it back in 09. I've done some basic changes to the design since then. Of all things I had canards on it. I still have top mounted inlets, but it's proving tricky with the shape to get them right.

Would love to see it.

It's an old image, but the basis of the aircraft is there. Take out the canards and that's closer to how it looks now.

That fin is not central you can see another one hanginf from the other side, its shape distorted by the engine heat.
