Features my thrust vectoring jet engine.
The Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 was an experimental jet fighter designed to test fighter thrust vectoring technology.
It was designed and built by Rockwell and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, as part of a joint US and German Enhanced Fighter Maneuverability program to provide additional control authority in pitch and yaw, for significantly more maneuverability than most conventional fighters. An advanced flight control system provided controlled flight at high angles of attack where conventional aircraft would stall or lose control.

Yeah the grey side orthogonal view looks strange. Looks a lot nicer in game. The X-31 is a strange shape. @Dynamicneedle
the shape is like a goose...
