This is a suite of concept art by Yannic Kawan for the spacecraft Anthem in the Netflix series Love Death+Robots.
It's supposed to be a realistic near-future 'repair truck' style of vehicle and I think he did a pretty good job!
These three are just a sample. There are over a dozen much bigger originals plus lots of notes on his ArtStation page:

Brilliant! :wub:
It's an impressive amount of work for a 10 minute short film, isn't it? :wub:
Yep!
The interior of the ship is barely visible at the beginning and at the end of the film but it's worth it (the story was kind of creepy though).
Impressive CGI work! :thumbsup:
Cool. I like the interior cut aways....something to think about !

My guess is Hotspur fuselage, Spitfire main wings, scaleorama'd Spitfire wings for the canards. Can't ID the engine pod though.
Looks good: I've had similar thoughts about the Hotspur myself. :thumbsup:

I DO like them, specially the F-302. :thumbsup:
But it'd be more practical without the pointy wing and tail I reckon.

The pointy wings are very characteristic of several Republic schemes from the 1950s, including the XF-103 which this is clearly inspired by. It'd definitely be more practical with a dorsal rather than ventral fin (like the XF-103!) though, especially since it has the wing-mounted fins to maintain directional stability at high AoA.

Perhaps. It may also show some influence from the Rockwell HiMAT research drone and the Dassault ACT-92 project. The wing planform looks very aero-isoclinic to me too, which means the Shorts PD.13 may have also had an influence:

Apparently the NA.39 review board were very taken with it, but eventually decided that it was more technically risky than neccessary for the requirement, although it would make a good basis for a Mach 1.5 fighter.
Funnily enough, to get that pic on here I posted it on Twitter (for free hosting ;D) and somebody there said it looked like the result of a supply-chain problem in the Sea Vixen factory. ;D

I'm sorely tempted to have a go at the Shorts PD.13, except I've only got one Skybirds Scimitar so I'll have a look for an Xtrakit one.

It's one of my favorites. The only thing I'd change is to extend the fins and rudders below the wing as well, for maximum high AoA directional stability/control.
I suspect that the reason why configurations like this were ultimately dropped is that the vortex approach triumphed, i.e. work on LERX to re-energize wing flow at high AoA also had the side effect of teaching aerodynamicists how to use similar vortices to keep traditional fins working, and the latter are structurally more efficient (and therefore lighter) than wing-mounted fins.

I don't see anything in the planform that suggests it's an aero-isoclinic
design. All it has in common with the Shorts PD.13 is the use of mid-wing
trailing edge bodies to hold the main landing gear. Also I don't think that
and aero-isoclinic wing would work in a canard configuration, you wouldn't
want an aft mounted wing flexing in that manner.

Yes, but the artist is clearly mixing features from several aircraft. His tip fins and canards are very XV-12, for example. My suspicion is that he may have been inspired by the PD.13's planform without fully understanding what an aero-isoclinic actually is. Remember, he's an artist, not an aircraft engineer.

I love this: it looks like an Alpha Jet scaled up to Jaguar size.
If and when modelling the "Stepping up the game plane" do not forget to have the back end as an afterburner exhaust of extremely thin section... now that he didn't post other views of the thing. One thing l love is fan-art, being the pseudo-expert.
As this obviously doesn't look like a "real" plane, l assume it is meant to showcase that the artist can do his own 3D models. But will do...

Needs one of those older ECM pods sacrificed to have extra large wings. So large that it can not be placed on an underwing pylon. So that it will suit the claim that it a missile drone that will climb high and remain over the action area. Perhaps one could mention the British Alarm. The F-16 model kit should have the HARM features, that pod by the inlet and so on. Would possibly help if it was a two-seater. Better if one of those with the spines. Have the other one on the other wingtip a "straight face", much like those laser targeting pods. You will possibly won't be able to carry the outer underwing Sidewinders. So, these two on the wingtips, two 600 galon drops, an HARM under one wing, an AMRAAM on the other and one of those ugly boxy ECM pods under the fuselage. Your mission, if you accept it, is to loft your two big wingtip missiles. High over the enemy capital or something similar so that one can jam and the other can designate targets while operatdd by your backseater. To clear a path so that your cruise missiles can clear a path for your stealth planes to work.
Whiffs probably should convince the wiever about the reasons they look odd. Otherwise everyone knows selected teen series airframes have been carrying Stonewell cold fusion reactors since the Seventeens, to power up their lazer guns. (Real life people seem unhappy with the Chinese these days, hinting at the wondrous things that are kept in Nevada...)

Think I'd have gone for Jaguar/Mirage F.1 style gear retracting into the fuselage next to the engine, personally.
Obviously it needs a Crusader type wingset if it lacks control authority to make extremely steep approaches.
Thanks. :thumbsup: Reminds me of the Shira-dow from the "Wings of Honneamise" anime, though. It's even got the same landing gear layout. ;)
