Yeah good job, if you fly slowly enough it doesn't happen, which is what I said you giant fucking moron.
MQ-25 is an unmanned stealthy fuel tank

Then why criticize the design if it works? You just presented it as a fatal flaw in your previous post. Stop contradicting yourself, faggot. And stop conflating hypersonic design principles with subsonic ones while you're at it.

Because it doesn't work, laminar flow will seperate the faster the aircraft goes, or if the aircraft changes angle of attack AT ALL, like when gaining altitude, turning, or landing.
It's a retarded fucking design that gives ZERO benefits while also supplying a bevy of flaws.
Ian Hughes
It does give a serious stealth benefits, it maybe give it more endurance by accelerating the natural intake air flow to the max?
If it's just a mobile refueling point it doesn't have to fly fast or have a good rate of climb, just need to loiter for a while until replaced by another one.
Which again it makes sense for a carrier to have a "mobile refueling point" patrol 24/7 with like 6 of those on board but far less for a scramble of strategic bombers.

Yeah it's cool and a stealth UAV tanker is probably good. However I think they should have just made a base stealth UAV and modified that for different missions.
Michael Edwards
This would be a naca duc, it's not perfectly flush with the skin, there's a slight bank which is supposed to laminar the air in. And it would have to be much much wider at the mouth and much smaller at the engine, what we're seeing in this drone is the reverse.

this is now a thread about different air intakes
