Technically, not *the* Ethereal, but a prototype for the concept. A ballanced, fast, maneuverable VTOL stealth jet. It's a prototype to work off of. Taking the tail fromthe Corporeal series and the VTOL capability from the O S&R variant. All subsystems will be hidden in the wings and the control surfaces will be more streamlined. I went for a larger wing shape for a better glyde ratio. At the right angle, this looks a bit like a next-gen fighter from Xcom: Enemy Unknown. (NUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!)

@UnknownNate Yep! I've been trying to get it right but I can't get the structural plates to work, so I moved on to the C as a frame instead.
I can't wait for the next update. Hopefully, they'll be adding VTOL controls to control surfaces which will make trim tabs and such so much easier!
@ShatterFox Because SP technically doesn't have stealth capabilities yet ^^; That and it's only a bare-bones prototype so there's much cloaking to be done.
@Xogo Alright, I'll give it a shot! This is the earliest ever prototype so there is much work to be done =3
If it's stealth, y can I lock on /w missiles?
Yooo! This thing's awesome! There's something about that upper wing... Not exactly streamlined, but those waves look awesome. A few things though, You may want to put the main engines and all moving tailplane on different keybinds, and it has this habit of rolling to the left that a lot of planes with wings at funny angles get in this game. I, personally, also think the tail should be a bit thicker on the inside of the tail surfaces, but that's just me. Very nice work.
@dsr1aviation Thanks!! I can't wait to finish this one up~
Cant wait for the variants to this =)
