Yeah that's a goddamn UFO. Anytime you see some weird aircraft in the sky, with a futuristic shape doing weird things, it's not aliens, its the US military testing some insane prototype.

These are hobby kits and fan art, not the real Hopeless Diamond. The real Hopeless Diamond was Lockheed's 1975 faceted radar test model on a pole, built from Denys Overholser's design. It never flew, but it became Have Blue, which first flew in 1977 and led to the F-117.

That's just the original Anaconda ship from the Elite 1984 game.

If Lockheed had any balls they’d make airplanes with Non-Euclidean geometries

Am I the only one nerdy enough to know that the “hopeless diamond” was the nickname for Have Blue which became the F-117?

"Hopeless Diamond" was just a nickname given to the ECHO 1 - program - which included 20 hypothetical designs, none of which were built beyond the modeling stage.

Ive seen enough put it on a giant weaponised wing module and give it neural control inputs

It must be so annoying to have to have a hybrid ship still burning fuel

Looks like the Calvine photo UFO style. Was it ever built and tested? dailyrecord.co.uk/news/inves…

Just read the Skunkworks a couple days ago. Very fascinating

So, in the end, the design was a flop and they didn't continue with it, right?

Still more wingspan then F-104.

Oh, you should see the other flying triangles they’re more 90° ish with bright LED lights Zero sound when they choose to is the crazier part

It doesnt generate lift aerodynamically. Looks like a UAP… what propulsion tech??
