Japan unveils concept of next-gen fighter
Art available: https://pixels.com/featured/b-58-hustler-dale-jackson.html and https://pixels.com/featured/1-b-58a-hustler-59-2458a-dale-jackson.html The U.S. Air Force's first operational supersonic bomber, the B-58 made its initial flight on Nov. 11, 1956. In addition to the Hustler's delta wing shape, distinctive features included a sophisticated inertial guidance navigation and bombing system, a slender "wasp-waist" fuselage and an extensive use of heat-resistant honeycomb sandwich skin panels in the wings and fuselage. Since the thin fuselage prevented the carrying of bombs internally, a droppable, two-component pod beneath the fuselage contained a nuclear weapon -- along with extra fuel, reconnaissance equipment or other specialized gear. The B-58 crew consisted of a pilot, navigator/bombardier and defense systems operator.

An experiment to visually demonstrate the difference in lift generation between delta and straight wings, and why the delta wing has a more steady stall. | Simulation project by 1318980
Two new pieces of concept art appear to show a possible configuration for the manned component of the NGAD future air combat program.
Can't find much on the site about the FB-22, so I thought I would post these from a couple of years ago. The design has evolved a bit more since then.

It took me years to build a little balsa glider that flies straight through my room, seemingly on a horizontal path. This page proposes the plans of that glider. I will try to explain the rules I followed to build it. Actually the exact shape of the glider doesn't matter. What matters is to understand the rules and reasonings behind and to be able to adapt them to other shapes and purposes.
The Avro Vulcan is a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Aircraft manufacturer A V Roe & Co (Avro) designed the Vulcan in response to Specification B.35/46. Of the three V bombers produced, the Vulcan was considered the riskiest option. Several scale aircraft, designated Avro 707, were produced to test and refine the delta wing design principles. The Vulcan B.1 was first delivered to the RAF in 1956; deliveries of the improved Vulcan B.2 started in 1960. The B.2 featured more powerful engines, a larger wing, an improved electrical system and electronic countermeasures (ECM); many were modified to accept the Blue Steel missile. As a part of the V-force, the Vulcan was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War. Although the Vulcan was typically armed with nuclear weapons, it was capable of conventional bombing missions, a capability which was used in Operation Black Buck during the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina in 1982. The Vulcan had no defensive weaponry, initially relying upon high-speed high-altitude flight to evade interception. Electronic countermeasures were employed by the B.1 (designated B.1A) and B.2 from circa 1960. A change to low-level tactics was made in the mid-1960s. In the mid 1970s nine Vulcans were adapted for maritime radar reconnaissance operations, redesignated as B.2 (MRR). In the final years of service six Vulcans were converted to the K.2 tanker configuration for aerial refuelling. The Midland Air Museum's XL360 is the only preserved Vulcan with a name - City of Coventry. Even so, it was only given the name after it had left RAF service! Even when in service very few Vulcans were ever given names. She entered service with 617 squadron on the 1st of March 1962, then served with 35 squadron, 230 OCU and 44 squadron before being flown into retirement at Coventry airport on the 26th of January 1982. The museum is one of the few to regularly open up their Vulcan to visitors; basically almost every day, depending on staff availability. The result is a Vulcan that birds won't nest in (too noisy with all those humans banging about!) and a cockpit that is well aired - even so moisture is a problem as with many static Vulcans. In late 2000 and early 2001 XL360 has underwent a good cleaning and was partially repainted during 2003/2004. Sadly in 2010 she is now looking very patchy and faded again and really needs to be repainted properly.

The V-173 was one-of-a-kind experimental test aircraft built as part of the Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack" World War II United States Navy fighter aircraft
Never ! What You are proposing would be a new aircraft with a completely new structure. It would be as ridiculous as these wet-dreams by some Pakistani fan...
