QuoteThis projects rocks! I just couldn't imagine that the Germans were so advanced in Stealth research in the 80's.
Now, something have to be done
Why not an "early stealth" group build including
- Hopeless Diamond
- Have Blue
- F-117
- Lampyridae
BAE Replica Perhaps? I love that plane... :D

I'm thinking... could an operational Lampyridae been powered by one or two
RB-199? (maybe without reheat, just like the F-117)

The Lampyridae was purely a research airplane. I suspect there's no room for a weapons bay, for instance.
Its shape suggests a single engine.

Ok, so aparently they produced only one 3/4 mockup and a non-powered full scale glider?
Now, it's time for whatiffing...I wrote and modelled what this program could have become. Yesterday I had a productive afternoon :) !
