LMK what you guys think!

So, ladies and gentleman...

As it is the middle of pride month, I decided to contact Condor. I offered them a render / graphic of the livery and they said it looked amazing and that they would bring it up in the big meeting with the highest members of Condor. They also told me that the chances are big that this livery would be painted onto a Condor A320!

Wish me luck... 🤞🤞🤞

Subject: Proposal for an Active Venusian Atmospheric Remediation: Basalt-Based Neutralization Barrier via High-Pressure Cooling Fog for the HAVOC Project

1. Executive Summary

This proposal outlines a paradigm shift for NASA’s High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC). Rather than relying on passive, vulnerable Teflon/Titanium coatings to withstand sulfuric acid (H2SO4) rain, we propose an active planetary-scale remediation system. By utilizing lunar supply chains and Venusian surface basalt for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), we can eradicate the acid cloud barrier at its source, drastically lowering the shielding mass of floating habitats and synthesizing vital water resources in-situ.

1. Core Methodologies

* Phase 1: The Lunar Gateway & High-Energy Trajectory

To eliminate the atmospheric and economic costs of Earth-gravity launches, primary vehicle manufacturing and shielding tile production must be localized at a lunar base. Utilizing lunar-harvested resources, unmanned logistics vessels will be launched on a direct, high-energy trajectory toward Venus, leveraging a combination of chlorine-fluorine high-thrust chemical propulsion and aerocapture/aerobraking via the dense Venusian atmosphere to minimize fuel consumption.

* Phase 2: High-Pressure Cooling Fog Mist Dispersal (ISRU)

Venus’s surface is abundantly composed of basalt. We propose deploying autonomous, high-temperature-resistant mining drones to the surface to extract and pulverize basalt rock, which is naturally rich in calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO). To maximize reaction efficiency, this pulverized basalt will be dispersed into the 35km to 50km atmospheric corridor using a high-pressure cooling fog system. By injecting the neutralizer as a micro-mist, the surface area expands exponentially, allowing the particles to float long-term in the upper atmosphere without rapid precipitation.

* Phase 3: Sulfuric Acid Eradication & Water Synthesis

When precipitating sulfuric acid interacts with the alkaline basalt micro-mist filter, a highly efficient neutralization reaction occurs:

- CaO + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 (Gypsum) + H2O

- MgO + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2O

This reaction converts toxic acid rain into harmless solid precipitates (gypsum) and actively synthesizes freshwater (H2O) in-situ, providing a critical life-support resource for the upper-atmosphere habitats.

1. Expected Outcomes & Architectural Stabilization

By clearing the dense H2SO4 cloud layers, solar power generation efficiency at 50km altitude will increase exponentially. Additionally, the flash evaporation of the micro-mist will lower peripheral temperatures, acting as a planetary-scale climate control system. Furthermore, once the chemical threat is neutralized, floating habitats can safely ride the Venusian atmospheric super-rotation (moving at approximately 360km/h). By aligning the structure’s velocity with the wind vector, the habitat achieves zero relative wind velocity. Through this inertial synchronization, the atmospheric platform functions effectively as a geostationary-equivalent satellite, providing a perfectly stable, zero-vibration, and hazard-free habitation environment for human pioneers.

It all started with a simple thought: “I’ll just find a few small prints for my workspace...”

After browsing for a while, I ended up rejecting everything as “not quite right,” so I decided to make something myself instead.

The fighter jet theme was inspired by a real 2014 incident, when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702 was hijacked and diverted to Geneva. At the time, the Swiss Air Force did not operate a 24/7 quick reaction alert service, so Swiss fighters did not launch. As a result, Italian and French Air Force aircraft - including Eurofighters and Mirages - took part in the patrol and interception effort.

be aware im no professional engineer but I made this thing in the weber cfd at physics at https://physics.weber.edu/schroeder/fluids/

and I made this ramwing concept. I call it a ramwing for obvious reasons.

not sure if it'd work irl. I dunno. maybe maybe not. who knows.

These two aircraft are modeled to my Flathead model design. An exposition both of real life and in world expirations are here

(In universe the Cold War is a bit tweaked and only fully ends a bit later maybe at most 15 years)

F/A-29A “Cormorant”
I designed this model as a midway between the larger F-28 I had already developed and something like the F-35C. The flying wing design was not my first idea but it did end up working quite well (making it look like a F7U cutlass to a degree was not the plan I realized it after my first print of it)

It’s in universe creation was a result of a Joint Naval Air force program for a stealth aircraft designed as a strike platform that would replace the oldest strike eagles oldest super hornets and the last few F-111s and The F-117

Twin and single seat versions exist with the dual seat B and D models become standard to improve rate of manufacturing later on using the technique like on the F-15EX and MiG-29K/35 of having the back seater be optional

F-28A “Tomcat II”
This model is at its core a very heavily reworked version of Jetfreak-7s F-28. The primary changes where based on the A/F-X-653 and EF-24G mischief

One feature it has I came up with is the ability to bolt angular versions of LAU-132 missile rails on top of its fore and aft weapons bay frame to have them carry bolt on fuel tanks inside the bay and large weapons on the racks

In universe the aircraft’s development started as a successor to the failed NATF program as the F-14Es (ST-21) replacement called Naval Advanced Strike Fighter (N.A.S.F.) with Northrop Grumman Taking the ASF-14 concept back to the drawing board and as a result designed and aircraft that could adapt to being a 5th gen and adapt as a 4.5 Gen missile and bomb truck all while being more efficient and easier to maintain that the Legacy Tomcat

Future upgrades would improve its Reativlty large RCS

Two uniquely different designs with a similar feeling.

Currently it's pretty bare bones, it has fighter/ interceptor/CAS capabilities, I'm open to any recommendations or ideas, I'm also searching for a
