Picture of new Navy Plane

Ted Waltman · Post by **Ted Waltman** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:31 am

Sorry for this off-topic post, but...I just posted a picture of a
radical new Navy plane in the files section (401 - Flight
Seeing)...didn't know where else to put it.

This is unlike any plane you've ever seen...worth your time to check out
the picture. I have several other shots; email me privately if you want
the other pictures.

Here's the text I got from a friend regarding this new plane:

The plane in these pictures is still officially the Air Vehicle Number
1, a prototype, onboard the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult
fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made
public.

I believe it will be known as the F/A-37. Although specs are
classified, it is believed to be a Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4
range), super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with
approximately a 4,000nm range.

At the right, in front of the guy with the white vest there is something
that looks like a movie film camera, what's the chances this is a film in
the making?

Cheers,

Dave

Actually, it is 100 percent NOT a new Navy aircraft. Correct on the movie, although I cannot tell you which one. My guess is futuristic-science fiction. All in all though, a pretty darn cool looking aircraft - maybe we should try to come up with a downsized homebuilt version! :-)
If we did, it would probably outperform the DoD version at one ten-thousanth the cost.

If you put it on floats you might need more vertical surface -
