Valkyrie In Flight

[J.Wilde]

Just a nitpick, but the 'V' in U.S. Naval Aviation actually stands for Heavier than Air Aircraft.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

The "V" was just a guess.

Too much work in progress for updates.
The VE-1 is actually a two seaters, it's just you don't see the second seat from this point of wiew. And the render is better against a sky than in space.

I did everything myself. Only the skies are not my photographs.

I did transform the model in battloïd mode but it looks too thin, so i need to redoo it from scratch.
Working on the Prometheus and other models to make a nice "on deck" render.

again thanks everyone.

(As a trivia thing, the "V" in U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine squadron designations means "Carrier." It comes from the abbreviation for "aircraft carrier", "CV", which originally stood for "Cruiser, Aviation." ("CA" now means "heavy cruiser", and originally meant "Cruiser, Armoured.")

I do love the Valks, and would be interested to know what you modeled & rendered them in my own self.

correct, strictly in-space for fast packs [or at least you never see a valk using them in atmosphere.

it's not that they'd be ripped off by the slipstream, just LOOK at those things, the drag they would add! your flight characteristics would be quite adversely effected. plus them little wings likely wouldn't be able to generate enough lift to keep a valk in the air with a set of those HEAVY things on it.
