Looks like its based on the An-72. Dont think its a stealth though, just an enlargened cargo bay.  :cheers:

i remember seeing a picture of a stealth transport in an AFM magazine 8 years ago.
from artist concept it looked more like a cargo version of a B-2 bomber  :mellow:

although this also looks cool, to bad i dont see a top view  :wub:
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

You are right. This pic was "STEALTH" labeled in the site I found. Anyway, title already changed :thumbsup:

As the pic name sez, its an "updated" iteration of the Burnelli layout.
Whether or not it was a serious project is anybodies guess.

It would not be stealthy nor would it be low drag at high speed, contrary to the claims made by the Burnelli cultists.

I suppose the exhausts somewhat shrouded by the wings are a stealth-ish feature, but that'd be incidental.
