Description

From Wikipedia:

The Northrop Tacit Blue is a technology demonstrator aircraft created to demonstrate that a low-observable stealth surveillance aircraft with a low-probability-of-intercept radar (LPIR) and other sensors could operate close to the forward line of battle with a high degree of survivability. often nicknamed "the whale" (and sometimes also called an "alien school bus" for its only slightly rounded-off rectangular shape),[8] featured a straight tapered wing with a V-tail mounted on an oversized fuselage with a curved shape. It was the first stealth aircraft to feature curved surfaces for radar cross-section reduction.[9] Northrop would use this stealth technology on the B-2 bomber. A single flush inlet on the top of the fuselage provided air to two medium-bypass turbofan engines. Tacit Blue employed a quadruply redundant digital fly-by-wire flight control system to help stabilize the aircraft about its longitudinal and directional axes.

I recently went to the USAF museum, and while there, I saw some awesome and wacky aircraft I would love to make later on, including the famous Northrop Tacit Blue! my next model will probably be another plane from that museum, either the tiny X-36, the massive B-36, or the sick looking Boeing Bird of Prey (that i absolutely love!) and some other “goofy bois” as i called them! anyway, onto info about the print and recommendations for after-printing! The model prints at a 90-degree angle for quality and strength of the landing gear and can be printed with the 0.4 mm nozzle. After printing, be careful removing supports, as some parts will be a bit fragile. When rating the model, please add pictures, I ask because I like seeing how your model turned out and helping with any problems that I have answers for. thank you for taking time out of your day to check out this model!
