There's a program which google offers for free called sketchup. It's a 3D architectural modeling program, and it's lots of fun. Anyway, here's some things I've designed on it. What do you think of the designs I've come up with?

This one's the only one which is actually real. I based my model off a photo.

Very Nice, Diamondback, is that stealth your own design?
It really is quite a versatile program.

Yeah, I'm planning on majoring in architecture.
 
It is, sir--it's also a project I'm trying to destroy any "construction potential" of, because of the raw capability the bird would have. (We're talking a 415x400' single-stage-to-orbit powered at low altitude by the engines of 8 777 airliners, and that my old ex-fighter-jock prof thinks coulda delivered all the iron for the Afghan and Iraq campaigns combined in one flight! 'Course, it also means a million bucks in fuel burned every flight, and getting it to land was a nightmare in X-Plane simulator testing...) I will admit, though, the overall layout was inspired by the alleged "Aurora", the canceled A-12 Avenger II, and a wave of "black triangle" UFO sightings in the late-'90s. What better way to have a "deniable" aircraft than for it to match descriptions of UFOs?

Those wings, for consideration, are almost as thick as I am tall!

I may have to hunt down this program of which you speak.

Classy stuff, by the way. I especially like the two stone models in the original post, but the little roadside diner is pretty sweet, too.
