I'm open to any criticism/recommendations.

Experimental tailless 4th gen fighter made in FlyOut.

Please respect my artistic choices and personal interpretation on the existing Dune 2021 movie design. I’m happy to hear your opinions. I am no engineer, pilot, or scientist, nor am very knowledgeable in engineering, but I tried my best to have this design fit my head-canon to how the Ornithopter truly works. Please forgive any spelling errors.

Keep in mind, suspensors are a sci-fi technology that allows objects to move around in physical space. Kind of like repulsorlifts in Star Wars.

I used the movie, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Dune DLC as a reference, as well as Vladislav Ilipaev’s model on Artstation.

Mods, the AI is not allowing me to upload my own stuff.

Before I start, I want to apologise for my English. It is not my first language.

I tried to find who made the image, but I couldn't find any concrete answers. The earliest source of this image I could find was by a user named "N1011" on the 31st of October 2013, on a website called "diecastaircraftforum.com", but the post N1011 made did not specify whether or not they made it.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this image the other day, and I was curious; what could Lockheed have followed it up with, if their L-1011 program succeeded? Would it be the L-2011, then? What could it have looked like? Sorry if I am asking too many questions, I am not even sure this is the right subreddit, but no others would fit better... Though I am curious!

Supersonic aircraft consume staggering quantities of fuel. The Skavanger Spearman operates all missions starting from full tanks -a staggering 44,500lbs internally. Aircraft sent over the union will carry an additional 18,000lbs of fuel in external tanks. This allows the aircraft to refuel only twice during a typical 3 hour operation.

Although more sleek, civilian Fixed Wing Rapid Transit aircraft still require at least one refueling every 3 hours. This makes tankers the backbone of not only modern military capabilities, but also the economic lifeline connects nations isolated by thousands of kilometers of hostile wasteland.

The Skavanger program operates a total of 118 near hypersonic fighters but this is only a third of the programs entire fleet. With an additional 165 tankers making up the bulk of the skavanger programs flying mass. During combat each opperational Skavanger requires a minimum of 1.5 tankers avilable to support it. Meaning the primary logistics bottle neck is not fighters, but tankers.

Description

The HA-230 Scavenger Spearmen is a postwar-era High-Performance Escort Fighter designed by the National Entanglement Laboratory’s Petroleum Recycling Initiative and manufactured by the Ratworks division of North Shore Aviation systems. The jet was commissioned by the UCC Mafia In response to the Union's withdrawal from the Post War Airspace Neutrality Treaty of 2pgw. Discontent with their disproportionately high population density and lack of access to suitable farm land, the Union began asserting control outside of its internationally accepted borders. The primary mode of antagonism was the capture or destruction of civilian aircraft that passed through the international airspace above their “Dome of agreed sovereignty”, above 50,000 feet asl. Although not a physically large country the Union was situated directly under one of the most important air traffic corridors used by the Fixed Wing Rapid Transportation System internationally. To protect their civilian air traffic and prevent the chilling of the fragile and newly established international economy the UCC mafia decided to field an advanced, ECM equipped combat escort that could fly with regular air traffic to provide protection.

The Fixed Wing Rapid Transportation System (FWRT) Is a network of high altitude supersonic flight corridors and refueling points designed to facilitate efficient high speed transportation between nations. Inorder to keep up with the civilian aircraft the Scavenger Spearmen not only had to match the civilian supersonic aircraft in speed and endurance. It had to do so while carrying a weapons payload, ECM payload, and two crew. It also had to maintain some level of plausible deniability about its weapons capability as to not overtly run afoul of the Post War Airspace Neutrality Treaty.

I’m gonna work on more shots soon but I figured it’s kind of done in its current state

From Our Florida EAA chapter 203 we have a group of people advertising this license plate. The reason why we created this plate was to generate money for aviation scholarships that able to be put towards anything in aviation, for any age, whether that’s flying or atc, or if you are already in a aviation career or you are working towards it. The scholarships are given out by our EAA chapter and by aerospace/Sun N fun. We are currently holding a booth at Sun N fun to promote the license plate but we are running out of time, Sun N fun promised to help us out, because they are getting the money for scholarships with out hard work, but they haven’t done what they promised. They promised signs all over the event and for the be announced multiple times. On our own time we travel to different airports talking about the license plate, handing out flyers. Created instagram posts on eaa203_chapter. We have been reaching out to other companies to have our stuff be at their booth, and other influencers to help us. The need for pre-orders started in 2025 and we only have around 600/3000 preorders, for it to actually be made, and for people to get scholarships. Our deadline is the end of October so we are really cutting it close, and we really need this to work. Me and my boyfriend Matthew Capio have just started being on the team with this license plate, and before this whole team was being ran by older guys, so their knowledge has been limited so we have been trying to help them out. Only Florida residents are able to buy one and the problem too is people just don’t want to spend money, but a preorder is cheaper than to actually buy it. Our sale is 33. For the plate, plus the dmv tax 2.95 adding up to 35., and if the person orders in front of us they get a free black and white airplane license frame. Other specialty plates are 80-90 dollars. We thinks it’s way harder for us because we believe other license plate for Florida didn’t have to reach this goal and if they did they had way more money and time than us. Help us out get these aviation scholarships because that’s really the whole point. Thanks let me know about any questions.
