I guarantee some no-it-all idiot like yours truly will look down the inlet/exhaust tubes and ask where the cones are!!! LOL!

got the reference from my friend,.. the inlet actually tapers and curves up and humps over alot of internal equipment you never get to see straight down the pipe! this project will start up soon after freelance dies down

Just a thought, but that You-Tube link for Devil Girl from Mars? Yu tube has a lot of videos on aircraft and militayr subjects. Was looking at a lot of videos on Secret Aricraftt (some of the ones from the History Channel has ones on the Northtup YB-49 and XB-35 "Flying Wings" and the N9N, and the Chance Vouight V-173 and XF5U "Flying Pancakes". Was watching quite a few on a plane that has alwqys facinated me, the B-36 Peacemaker.
