Absolutely! I was hoping someone would pick the MB 5!

Can't wait!

Me and @Mr Man have started designing the Kyushu J7W Shinden.

Don't remember that when I last visited the EDW museum.

How'd you guess it so quickly?

Explored the geo-bat and I would suggest that you have a working rudder and if it is needed(especially in winds) an extra set of ailerons plus your elevons. I even added a flap/spoiler control to trim the nose-up attitude in calm/wind conditions.
Also with the BWB, will be interesting to see flight.

I'm thinking of keeping the under-cambered wing tips for stability. And a higher chance of flight as the original didn't even fly.

Explored a triangular blended wing body with moving rudder(interested in your circular which you have) and it really flies funky.

Yours does fly weird.

Thats' fine, what were the designs that you thought of?

XB-50 was interesting, as was its Navy counter part.

You talking about the XP-50?

If so, that is awesome!

Actually no, there were rumors that one was chased by Allied fighters but only rolled off the assembly line

 

[L Edge]

Started designing my entry, any guesses?

in fact, that was a XB-50.. a Boeing B-50 Superfortress
". Regardless of the Reg., Mr Lovett told Gen Powers that a new designation should appear in the J.X. Program to show that we are not building the same old B-29's.
We tried to call it a B-29D.
B-44 designation was OK by Mr Lovett but Boeing wants to call it B-50 which had previously been allocated them on a redesign project which was later cancelled. "
The X-planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator within the US system of aircraft designations, which denotes the experimental research mission.

Sack as-6. Not sure if I’m gonna enter it because I haven’t finished it yet, or have the electronics.

Correct.

@Zephyr1 Are entries still being accepted? I have a design for a P-75 that I've been working on that I might enter.
