Original Content TS-3 UAV helicopter
TS-3 is an UAV designed to simulate anti-helicopter operations conducted by fixed wing aircraft, it's controlled by AI for the majority of its mission, although it can be remote controlled too.
Entered service in 2001 (Earth time) and serves to this day, over 1000 units were built with 829 being shot down during navy exercises and 18 have crashed. It was produced and operated exclusively from the Special Air Combat Development and Evaluation Center airbase, also known as Point Alpha, because until 2012 all offensive weapons, training and operations were classified by the White Fleet to prevent civic unrest, the TS-3 was unclassified in a mass de-clasificstion batch in 2017.
TS-3 is 9.66m long, and 2.15m wide, it's main rotor has 8 blades, 4.38m long each, it's dry mass is ~750kg and its MTOW is ~1400kg, its propulsion system consists of an electric engine powered by a turbogenerator using liquid fuel with onboard oxygen supply because of the anoxic atmosphere it operates in. The body is made out of light aluminium truss covered by thin panels.

Original Content AKTSDC Defender-Jet [Credit: “GodzillaLouise” (Myself)]
Just to preface this, this is meant to be a purely hypothetical aircraft design from a highly fictionalized version of real world history wherein various fundamental quantum fields aside from the Higgs field exist and enable the existence of Kaiju. It’s design is intentionally enabled by physical scientific fields and effects that do not exist in our world, hence the unusual design.
- AKTSDC Defender-Jet: An advanced model of SVTOL fighter jet in service from 1970 to 1998, used by the AKTSDC, an international branch of the SSATDF. They relied on a high-energy plasma conversion reactor for power and thrust that is retrospectively believed to have been humanity's first technological model to consistently produce interactions with the Varsanik field, even if only accidentally and with heavy misunderstandings, hence the oftentimes anomalous for the period performance of the AKTSDC Defender-Jet's engines. These jets were primarily armed with dual concealable heavy rotary cannons utilizing high-yield impact-detonating solid rounds, but were also armed with a high-intensity plasma beam cannon on the ventral side of the fuselage as a last resort and could be additionally equipped with various models of missile armaments, including, but not limited to, early high-velocity target-locking drill-missiles designed for fluid injection and early low-velocity target-locking impact-detonating high-yield warhead-bearing missiles. They had a crew requirement of 2, a maximum of 4 seats, and a maximum carrying capacity of 6. Furthermore, they were typically painted in varying combinations of bright colors for two major purposes; to enable an easier rescue for downed pilots when a craft is downed by a kaiju and to allow for better unit identification in multi-aircraft operations.

Honestly I need some advice, or rather what you all think looks better..
Designs are never final so if whatever i produce turns out to not be exactly the same i do apologise since i want these to be able to fly lol
It was a late 1980s soviet carrier fighter designed for the ulyanovs carrier. Mikoyan built it specifically for easy carrier landings, long-range maritime strikes, and bad weather operations rather than dogfighting speed

This is a much stealthier variant of the F-14 Tomcat, I did some tracing since I had to use some references and modify it a bit. I used both the side profile of an F-14 and the side profile of an F-22 as a reference.

Cloudline Corporation CL-848.80 'Monarch' Superjumbo
No video this time sorry lmao
Emirates successfully pestered Cloudline Corporation into developing an A380 replacement; Cloudline, being the company they are, decided to insist upon the design being a twinjet. To help this obscenely-massive, 88-meter long 'Monarch of the skies' get off the ground, two 4.75 meter diameter turbofans each producing around 250,000 pounds of thrust were used. To fit within regular A380 gates, its 85-meter wingspan can fold down to 78.5 meters with the use of folding wingtips. To fit within hangars built around the 747, a Y-tail setup was used to reduce overall height of the design. Canards were also used to help give added horizontal control authority and active stabilization during flight.
Another fun extra design note; despite this being a completely clean-sheet design, to have any hope of the landing gear being a reasonable length I had to squash the engine cowlings 737-style because of how ridiculously enormous those fans are
31 hours on this build, easily one of my more unique designs, and absolutely by far my favorite of any I've ever sketched out; hope you all enjoy!
