Those engines at the rear sure looks nice. Just like the 911 :D

Yup! Looks to be an F/A-18C model. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if the "C" actually stood for "Carrera"? ;)

Kach,

Interesting looking bird. Do not see how they are going to get 250 mph out of it using that fan system but lets see. Would be nice to give it a try.

Problem is that the info on his website is from 2003 and no updates since that time, so wonder if its going to fly or not...

That looks to be the date of the article quoted from the magazine "The Economist" in 2003.

Since the AMV 211 was completed last October of 2003, the aircraft has gone through some modifications:

* The engine cooling system was redesigned and rebuilt to address some occassional overheating problems.
* The landing gear and the aileron control system were modified for enhanced control and safety in the air and during the landing and take off processes.

In July of 2004 an FAA airworthiness certificate for experimental aircraft was issued.

Now the aircraft is undergoing an initial testing, making solid progress toward a complete take off, landing and hover as well.

Saw that but 2004 could be 2 year old input. Anything more than a month old on a website that should be current makes me wonder.

I have done flight test, it does not take 2 years to get from the stage shown in the photo to where they can post some news updates unless there is a problem or they ran out of funds. Hope its moving forwards but they need to update their site and show some progress to keep interest going.

What can I say, it's the first time I've pushed the envelope. Blame it on the Mojitos.
