Might be the most beautiful machine not just plane

>>728725739
From what I could find, the pilot's canopy was offset to the left-hand side of the fuselage, while the observer was housed to the right completely within the fuselage, gaining entry to his position through a flush-fitting top hatch, nicknamed the "Coal Hole". The observer's position was darkened and located deeper down into the fuselage, the former quality been seen to improve the visibility of the radar imagery.

>>728726343
I saw the one they have at the Udvar-Hazy center in DC. I was actually surprised how narrow the fuselage was. It's such an impressive aircraft to see in person.

This thing baffles me. I mean, there's no aero to keep it on the ground. Modern racing cars and supercars have all sorts of aero to push the things down to the ground at speed. I understand that this jetcar thing isn't designed to turn, which is when you need downforce the most, but it still seems important at high speeds even in a straight line.

Seems like an obvious deathmobile to me.

>>728735418
Most ladspeed cars don't want downforce. Or at least not much at all. The problem is that any static wing or spoiler that can't be adjusted will keep on producing more and more downforce to the point it is way too much. Something that produces useful downforce at 200 mph will be producing several thousand pounds of downforce at 700 mph and literally smashing the car into the soft dirt/salt and slowing it down.

They want just enough to keep it on the ground. Plus since it is a jet car it doesn't rely on traction to deliver the power so wheel spin isn't an issue like it is with wheel powered cars.
