Introducing the Aria J-366 'Egg-One'!
A few days ago, the Aria Aeronautical Design Company happened upon an interesting request: Design an airframe around an egg-shaped pod. While we can't attest to the aerodynamic performance of eggs, we tried our best to make sure this one would would make its migratory journey unscathed.
although the Egg-One is decently maneuverable, it was designed more with high altitude cruise in mind. At 20,000 feet, it can fly at a modest 425 mph and make it from maywar to snowstone without refueling. With it's docile handling, we're sure our client will enjoy their trip up north in comfort!
Side Notes
Gee, how long has it been since I last posted? over a year... welp, I saw a bunch of these egg things on the site, eventually found this challenge and couldn't resist! I've been wanting to make a flying wing like this for a while, too. Knocking out two birds with one stone! (or don't, we're trying to protect this one, after all).

@Thorne Thank you!
Man that’s really one of the best looking flying wings I’ve seen. The intake looks eggsquisite and the fuselage eggsudes elleggance. Landing gear look great when up as well. Nice entry!
