Y-5 PRISM, a Post-Stall Maneuvering test plane (FAR Recommended, Stock Parts).

The Y-5 PRISM (Post Resolved Induced-Stall Maneuvering)

After trying to recreate the X-31, and failing, in a FAR-modded KSP, I decided to see if the Rockwell SNAKE design might be better inspiration. After a little bit of tweaking, I managed to get a stable supermaneuverable x-plane. It's pretty fun to fly around, once you get used to using throttle to help you (though if you keep the throttle at ~66%, you should be fine for a lot of stunts).

REQUIRES FERRAM AEROSPACE RESEARCH FOR POST-STALL MANEUVERABILITY

That is a gorgeous plane!

That is nice, I likey

Thank you! It turned out a bit better than I expected.

Gracias, have you had a chance to try it out?

Finally someone taking bold steps into aerodynamic research, kudos to you!

I like what you have come up with, and nice paint scheme btw. I too did some work on high angle of attack flight a while back, and you can feel free to take a look at what I have to see if it can be of any help to your work.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the compliments! This design originally looked like your first one (like a Eurofigter or the VECTOR), but I couldn't get it balanced. I really like your last bird, would you mind pointing me to a .craft file download?

Unfortunately these were made in .20 and I have long since lost the craft files, so all I have to show is the pics, sorry.

Reminds me of a thrust-vecroting HIMAT. Great minds think alike, it seems.

Ahh, that's a shame. I might try something like it next, or perhaps something like a "stealthy" fighter. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! This is actually what I was going off of:
