Too bad about the prop, it'll reflect radar like crazy. However, I don't think they meant it to be stealthy! It reminds me of the Vought XF-5U "flying pancake." It had very similar handling qualities. The Germans also did attempt to make a similar flying pancake before the war ended.

Vought XF-5U and V-178

wood doesn't reflect EM waves, but it doesn't stop them either, the engine would bounce a radar wave back though


I don't think they meant it to be stealthy


I know, still you put some black paint on it, give it retractable landing gear, and even with the prop it still looks stealthy

Pack in a flare gun for countermeasures, sling a JDAM underneath it and you've got a poor man's F-117 (if it'll still take off, that is)! Still, it's a pretty nice design. The website hasn't been updated for quite a while, though...
