Let's assume for a moment, the F-19 is real! We now have some questions to look at:
Well boyz If there is an F-19 its deffo this one.

[Not knocking these guys modelling skills by the way, they are very good models anbd I'm into that sort of thing myself but there is no way this F-19 can be anything like accurate. Even if an F-19 DOES exist it cannot look like this, unless its designers wasted all their time and money.
From "Designed for the Kill", Mike Spick, Airlife Publishing 1995
Page 141
[On the F117A] "Design work began on the full scale development aircraft in Decmber 1978, and it first flew from Groom Lake, piloted by Hal Farley, in June 1981. For added security, the radio call sign of 117 was allotted, and it was the widespread use of this that finally led to the designation F-117 A, rather than any of the fanciful theories later advanced. The press had a lovely time. They knew something Top-Secret was around, gave it the obvious (and erroneous) designation of F-19, and even published three-views of it which had foundation only in their overheated imaginations. Not until November 1988 was the existance of the F-117 A revealed, and even then the heavily retouched photo released gave a totally wrong impression of it's outline."
I think it wont be capable of that speed too, the F-16 canopy would shatter into the pilot and cut him to shreds and the wafer thin airframe would crack. The mach 5 capability should be left to real state of the art, heavy duty,serious buisness aircraft like the AURORA BLACK TRIANGLE that LIVES FOR THAT S++T.

You know browno, that airframe doesn't really go along with the schematics, that plane does not look mach 5-6 capable.
I'm sorry, but the F-19(a?) is based purely on fantasy, so are those airframes, it's just based on what some nerd wants them to be, and you can't go by some guy's fantasy. There is not enough hard evidence supporting the existence of the aircraft.
Shattered OUT...
But wait there! LOOK again at the front canards on the other F-19A site , they are outlined so they must move but not on the model , even if they didnt, they could just be just to stabilise or for the pilot to crawl up into the cockpit.

Pleasae explain to me why you are so hung up on the 'Monogram' F-19 in particular? Not only is it no less a work of pure fiction than the 'Testors' version but when you really look at it the design is actually garbage.
Here are three reasons why this design is nothing but fantasy;
Furthermore, at anything resembling any sort of 'angle of attack' the air intakes are totally blanked out by the underside of the aircraft and the engine would flame out, the supposed fins are also slap bang in the middle of the area of least pressure and thus totally ineffective even if they weren't too small in the first place!
Finally, look at the position of the main gear in relation to the planes length and ground clearance and imagine this thing rotating at the end of its take off run, OUCH! this thing is a joke, but hey, it looks cool
Well boyz If there is an F-19 its deffo this one.
Whatever you say dude

There is a degree of desperation in the comment that the canards 'might be there for the pilot to crawl up' that really made me smile Thanks for that.
As to why information on this aircraft is hard to find, do you know why that is? Its because there is no info because there is no plane. From about 1981 just about everyone (who was interested in planes) knew that the 'stealth fighter' existed but nobody could find out what it was called or looked like. [edit on 8-11-2005 by waynos]

I can tell now becouse the designs were sort of plane parts just stuck together(The F-16 Cockpit, Mini SR-71). As explained above , the designs would sort of not be 'Airworthy' and if they did fly they would deffo be detected by radar due to the droopy curved edges and exhaust heat signatures, all that time it was the squared off edges and flat surfaces on the F-117 Nighthawk that done the trick!.
Waynos , I like the way you pinpointed out the images and the way you explained the F-19 Specter out.
Well in for that!!!!!!!!!!!(Thanks!)
The F-19 designation was just a cover up for the F-117 becouse everyone knew about a 'Stealth Fighter' but they had no idea what it looked like so i suppose someone informed the two model companies Testors and Monogram to produce 'F-19' model kits to distract the public and communist spy rings from the F-117 which was the real aircraft under construction at the time. The 'F-19' was also in books and news articles. There was also a news article sometime in 1986 about a pilot being killed crashing an 'F-19 Stealth Fighter'. I believe they scattered F-101 Voodoo parts all over Groom Lake?/Edwards AFB? to mock up a crash scene.

Yes, aircraft such as the Raptor, Blackwidow, and S-47 look awsome, but every little "cool" part of these aircraft play an important tangible role.

Browno,
The curved design can be just as steathy or even stealthier that the
Facits of the F-117. The reason the F-117 used the flat facits was because the computer technology that Lockheed had in the late 1970's and earily 1980's was very primitive. The computers didn't have the speed and capacity to hand the math needed to design a stealth with curved surfaces and make it fly.
Northrop has more advanced technology than Lockheed, that is why they could make the B-2 so stealthy useing smooth, flowing curves.

O, comeon Seekrof, Blackwidow? You mean the WWII fighter designed purely for night time missions?
Lets try Blackwidow II.
