Actually, that design is real. It was a soviet high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It was the soviet answer to Reagan's SDI Program. The design was deep-sixed because of the end of the cold war.

An earlier design of what became the P.1233-1
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error

I've already done the P.1233-1, though it seems I've posted it in the wrong thread. I'd like to do the others as well, but I've been unable to find out how big they're supposed to be.

Never built or maybe just not yet built, who knows? I thought this would be the best place for this drawing.

Proposed Future Eurofighter Typhoon 2020 with conformal fuel tanks, thrust vectoring and advanced avionics upgrades. It seems to primarily be targetted at sales to Arab/Middle East nations.
