"Hello Internet", one of the few podcasts I listen to, was discussing the new SpaceForce Logo, tearing it apart really. For quite some time I've wanted to capture the crisp harshness that is space lighting - and for this post, the first in a long time, I wanted to create a fighter for the SpaceForce. This one is a swept-delta wing hypersonic turbine / rocket driven airframe. The "waist" is there to ease pressures on the fuselage, this is pretty common on experimental high speed craft. Lighting (and coloration) was inspired by the Shuttle- this white coating makes for the highest contrast. Tons more inputs on this from other existing air and spacecraft.
