Designer’s Notes
First published in 2020, Killswitch is an exercise in extreme variable geometry integration, in a fictional concept design.
The lack of serious integration of low-observable geometry, sensors and communication equipment – compared to readily available examples of IRL aircraft – should be a dead giveaway of i’s place on the spectrum of science and fiction.
However, the final design and realistic details also demonstrate a dead-serious commitment to the exercise of system integration – which I think many people perceive as an intent to create a realistic aircraft.
