Maybe its time to apply the logic statement of Roland Beamont, which was wondering why a low-level bomber was forced to fly at mach 2.2 when mach 1.7 would have allowed much simpler intakes...
Don't know what form would have the wings... why not something similar to a F-22 (diamond wings or something like that).
Up-to-date cockpit, and the elctronic miniturisation would free an enormous space... well, this plane would have an incredible range!
And a bigger nose would be great, with stealth stuff everywhere.

Something for us to do : F-22 / TSR-2 kitbash !!!!!!!!!!!! :D  :rolleyes:  :lol:  ;)  ^_^
That would rock!!!!!

French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Hmm, Lee, got any more of those resin TSR-2s?  I've got a YF-22 that's willing to donate inlets (since it's wings and exhausts are going to other projects).  I'll also have some spare YF-23 wings and bits to use on this project.

I was thinking of a delta canard style, or maybe adding canards to the existing setup.  Much more 'European', although the trapezoid wings would make a nice BAC/Lockheed collaboration.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Even better : trapezoidal wings combined with canards!!! (of course, no horizontal tail) That would look cool...
