Description
Two KF-52E "Moskit" air-superiority fighters break the soundbarrier as they enter supersonic speed over the Indian Ocean during a routine response drill carried out by the Meritonian Commonwealth Air Force.---
A scene of one of the many weird aircraftΒ designs I've been experimenting with the past couple of months. I'll be doing a few more of these hopefully soon!

I think these are launched from a tube, I cant stop thinking these are mass deployed UAV weapon that can be folded and packed in tight space.

I can absolutely see that. Dozens of tubes lined up and filled with these crafts folded like origami, then launching and unfolding mid-air in a matter of seconds.

That sounds like interceptor batteries loaded on to any platform that can carry them. Accompanying the system there should also be an arresting mechanism that handle return drones.

I imagine if they were VTOL they could fly into a hangar or some kind of deck, or even perhaps back into the launch tube somehow. Alternatively, perhaps they could be disposable and simply self destruct or break apart after their ammunition/usage is depleted.

These thing do not need VTOL, the craft need to be kept simple. The recovery mechanism can take advantage of its 4 wings act as air break also as mechanical guide that slide into the resolver where there will be arresting cables attached to 4 corners. In case of disposable operation, when ammo is expand the craft can become a missile, the self destruct system is also a warhead in missile mode.

That's a very intriguing idea for a recovery system, I like it. I do think also the craft becoming a missile is an interesting idea, although one would hope it fully zeroizes its internal components before or when it is self destructs so no tech gets into the hands of an enemy.

Put all the important tech on the host system, the drone can carry very little interesting stuff, and it cannot be derived even if it is intact, sense there isn't enough information to predict the complex system on the other end.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

I know these are supposed to be human aircraft and all but, this thing just looks... alien, to say the least.
Then again the same logic did apply to the F-117 so.... actually I kinda wanna see something like this IRL now.

Aircraft from the modern times look rather alien compared to the aircraft from the first World War, so aircraft a hundred years from now probably won't look too similar to anything we have these days.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about that...

I really love the design. Kinda thin and insect-like in how separated their individual parts are. But still looks plenty aerodynamic. What's that big pod right behind the main fuselage? Is that the engine? And what kind of engine is it anyway?
(And I know the StarFox comment has already been made, but I love it all the more for the resemblance. Cool plane.)

Thank you!
The large pod aft of the fuselage is indeed the engine/tail. As for propulsion, I haven't quite figured it out yet, but it'd be something suitably futuristic.

Naturally. A nuclear thermal rocket or a gravity impulse booster or something.

Thanks!
The pilot sits inside a fully enclosed cockpit, so the exterior of the craft/cockpit is covered in cameras. The pilot sees outside the cockpit with a built in heads-up-display in his helmet or several screens inside the cockpit. Alternatively though, I suppose they could just be drones.

So, COFFIN system like Acecombat

You are a savant.Β You can't just be using Paint.NET to make all this.
π: 0 β©: 1
You're right! I used MS-Paint for designing and drawing the aircraft in the scene.

Thank you very much!

Kinda makes me think of the Arwings from Starfox. Which is a good thing, since those are some of my favorite fictional craft ever. Great job!

Closer to the Wolfen, IMO. Still really flippin' cool though!

Thanks!
They do look a lot like the Arwings now that I look at them.

I love to see more of your works in the future

Thanks!
I'll definitely be putting more of these up in the future.
