Well, still a good reading... knowledge is power my friend... never talked about reality either... And if that palne could actually fly, I'd be an admin of ATS...

It has no more substance to it than any of the design competitons we have had on this site among ourselves.

My response was aimed more at the question of whether this was an ongoing project.
However I will also point out that this isn't really interesting reading for any students of the history and/or state of the art of modern combat aircraft and their related technology. In this respect the stalma is utterly worthless as it is a complete work of fiction. To go back to my earlier analogy, it would be like someone who has researched the science of the space programme since the days of Sputnilk up to the present day then continuing his research into the intricate workings of the Tardis and the Enterprise, a complete blind alley. In terms of studying aviation, looking at the Stalma (or anything else with the Stavatti name attached to it) is like a trainee Vet watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon after you've watched a documentary about the life of Rabbits. A pleasant enough brief diversion, but of no real value to your subject.

Yes, all the above. Plus the fact that Mike forgot to include; it is as real as the starship Enterprise and Doctor Who's Tardis.

Indeed, the knowledge that Stavattis designs can be dismissed as nonsense is extremely useful
