So an off-center engine combined with a single-shot missile bay?

Why off-center?
This one have two engine, ventral intake with vertical ramp (looks like As YF-107, Tu-160, B-1A, Mig E-8, etc). May be some perspective mistake)

Eh, s'what it looked like to me, might just be the perspective and all that.

Okay, I'm guessing the kind of peace that means no one left to fight you?

Peace for planet, not for humanity
After that Earth will be like as Mars - very peacefull planet)

When planet earths core cools and solidifies then it will become like mars but a nuclear wars may help the surface looks along a bit quicker

Very impressive shading

How is the missile carried? Is there a pylon on the top of the fuselage, or under-wing hardpoints, or what?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheXHS In reply to cthelmax [2013-06-07 18:26:50 +0000 UTC]

Under-wing hardpoint, pylon was dropped after missile launch, because it's additional drag source

Nice is the ventral fuel tank (I'm guessing that's what's under the intakes?) jettisonable as well?

TheXHS In reply to cthelmax [2013-06-07 19:53:59 +0000 UTC]

Sure! Fuel tank is jettisonable

Cool

Incidentally, is the missile inspired by HOTOL? The layout looks similar...

TheXHS In reply to cthelmax [2013-06-07 20:25:52 +0000 UTC]

I downloaded all articles about HOTOL at Flight International archive some month ago (I want to translate it into russian and post into my LJ))))
Maybe, when I read how much about HOTOL, my subconscious catch the idea...

Шикарні роботи взагалом.
Зверху від літака, що це? Щось назразок крилатої ракети, чи окремий літак?

TheXHS In reply to Hausgaist [2013-06-07 16:57:27 +0000 UTC]

Крилата ракета. Хоча на нижньому літаку й немає пілонів підвіски, можна припустити що самі пілони скидаються, як непотрібні деталі що лише створюють додатковий опір, і літак на максимальній швидкості "рве кігті" з зони дії ППО противника, після того як зробив свою "чорну справу" і пустив крилаті ракети з ядерними боєголовками.
