P38 LightningBolt CVTOLV
WWII never ended, the Atomic bomb was never created, and the world as we know it now never came about. The long years of the war caused a massive drain on oil resources. The P38 LightningBolt Carrier vertical takeoff and landing variant is a crucial ship in the Airforce, offering fuel efficiency, power, and Battlefield access that other planes would dream of.
This is my take at a retro futuristic aircraft design based on the p38 lightning from WW2. It was made for a 24h straight 3d modelling only challenge with another member of the Blender3d community. So yeah, since this was a modelling only challenge I feel this piece is finished. Here is a few other views of the airplane:
