      I say its a 90mm F117 due to all the secrecy and moving on from Vietnam to Desert Storm.

      F117 " Foils radar"
      not really sure on other clues,would have to go back and look at them again.

      Way to much lead up for Foil to be a F100...imho

          Well if you look at the Collins Foundation line up, you'll see that they have an A4 ( check), F4 (check), B-24 (check) ,and yes, the F-100 Super Sabre and T-33 remain.- https://www.collingsfoundation.org/a.../?tab=tab-four

          And if you consider the officially licensed Northrup Grumman planes that Motion has modeled, A-6 Intruder( check) F-5 ( check)F-14 Tomcat (check) A-10 (check) F7F TigerCat (check) that leaves the YF-23, EA6 Prowler, F9F Panther , B-2

          Following the Collins and Northrup Grumman logic , I'm sticking with the F-100 as my guess for project foil.

          If Foil is cold war here's just about every cold war airplane ever produced by country: https://www.militaryfactory.com/airc...r-aircraft.asp

          It's gotta be in this list.
          Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39
          Out of Service: 80mm Mig-21,64mm F-35, 64mm F/A-18
          I Want: 80mm A-4, twin 80mm F4J Phantom

            I'm willing to bet the farm it's not an F-100. The hype seems to huge. Unless that's their tactic. Not that an F-100 is boring, but just doesn't fit the heightened expectation.

              The most awesomest plane would be a twin 80mm F-117. OMG would that be cool! Not sure if it would be a big seller, but I would get one. Visual profile orientation would be tuff, and I am not sure if the thrust would be efficient out those thin nozzles. But wow, what a presence that would have!

                  The YF-23 and B-2 are all ready in production by other companies, and the F9F Panther and F9F-6 Cougar are also in production at other companies and Freewing makes a 64mm version of the Panther. And I don't see much of a market for the "Double Ugly". And who says it's an American plane.

                    Foil could reference aluminum and the C-130 had aluminum in it. I hope it's a C-130. The Loadmaster in me wants it to be!

                            +1 for an F-117A with twin 80mm fans! And paint the American flag livery on the bottom!

                                So it looks like the new foil project is some kind of stealth jet, it has to be because I don't even see it in the jet jam pictures.......:)

                                  Anyone else notice that Weird Al folds the foil into the shape of a delta wing? Maybe it IS going to be an F-106.

                                        There was only one prototype made, and it got stolen. CAD files were also lost. ;)
