The Boeing Bird of Prey was a black project aircraft, intended to demonstrate stealth technology. It was developed by McDonnell Douglas and Boeing in the 1990s.
The shape is aerodynamically stable enough to be flown without computer correction. Its aerodynamic stability is in part due to lift provided by the chines, as used in other aircraft including the SR-71 Blackbird. This provided lift for the nose in flight. This configuration, which can be stable without a horizontal tailplane and a conventional vertical rudder, is now a standard in later stealth unmanned aerial vehicles such as the X-45 and X-47, tailless aircraft which use drag rudders (asymmetrically used wingtip airbrakes) for yaw control.
The aircraft, which had given the designation "YF-118G" as a cover, was made public on October 18, 2002.

Thank you for upvotes
the top intake is too smooth. in the real pictures, it's like a triangle but with a bit of smoothness on the top to reduce the radar signature.
not even 100 parts. impresive
damn two days ago?
how many times did i arrive this early, i like it
this is a beautiful craft, never seen anything this good though
Nice not laggy at all:-)

@WinsWings thank you, bro
This is awesome!!!
@MrSilverWolf Thank you :)
@Wibbley there you go my guy, it’s now as a successor to the 96 parts challenge
@MrSilverWolf please make it a successor of this post https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4yUYiL/96-Parts-Challenge
