30 pooomoneyplanesog  1.9 years ago

The Steelbird is an experimental plane, made by Lowidzky Aerospace. It was made to test the resistance of air and non-vectoring supermaneuverability on the roll axis.

It features drag-reducing inlets and the cockpit is made on a different platform, thus, reducing some drag.
