Project Foil Guesses?

Just a friendly reminder that the thread below is better suited to posting things you would like to see in the future and general discussion about such.

The Project Foil thread is to have fun trying to guess how the clues relate to the plane it represents.

Make America great again... Make an AMERICAN trainer!! The T-38 has trained every American Fighter pilot since 1959.

MAGA....!
Make Project Foil be the first U.S. jet trainer. It is faster than Hoot by at least 100 knots, and not bare aluminum!

When you say operated, do you mean used by countries in Europe, or used in Europe? If it's used in, then the P-80 qualifies, because not only was it used in Europe,a batch of the prototypes were used in WWII.

I meant counties that operated them. Other then the U.S. only Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay operated them. So the P-80 could be more popular in South America.

The F-84 Thunderjet on the other hand was operated all over Europe and some of Asia. Here is the list: Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Yugoslavia.
Add to that the Thunderstreak with swept wings and even more countries can be added to the list.

Project foil is probably just another version of something that has already been done a hundred times over by every manufacturer for the last 20 years... That's the normal trend ! There always trying to "one up" each other which pretty much pointless.

My bet for project foil is still the F-22 Raptor which has not been done before in a descent scale larger than 70mm.

What post did Alpha say that project foil was not going to be a bare aluminum jet??

[lmramos44]

Oh Mama Mia what a beauty!

I won't be buying one of those.

Post #868 is where he mentions it.

Posts 967 and 968. Now, therein lies the problem for model airplane companies.

:)LOL 100% TRUE

Even though the F-22 is cool jet it is not on my list. But I am basing my guess on the fact the the F-22 can "Foil" radar detection. The other similar jets like the F-117 and B-2 are black so its a no go with gatoring in the sunlight. There is also the F-35 but I certainly don't care for one unless it was the F-35B with full VTOL capabilities.

Yea, F-22, & F-35, not to big a fan. I do like the looks of the new Boeing trainer though.

It looks like the nose of a BAE Hawk, middle of an F-15, and back-end of an F/A-18.

Moonbat?

I still like it, LOL. But true, all true.

A Moonbat would be very cool, but since Foil is confirmed to be an EDF, I doubt it. ;)

How about this to take care of those pesky Amazon drones that want our airspace:

[Boots Whirlygig]

I think Foil is the North American XF-108 Rapier which was their last design before being absorbed by Boeing. It only made it to mock-up stage and was to designed to foil the Ruskies long range bombers before they were within range of the
F-106.
