🕑 Added 2019-09-30 06:27:08 +0000 UTCA couple of days ago I saw a piece of MLP Fan art on Twitter from SAT_V12. The picture was of Rainbow Dash wearing her Wonderbolt's uniform while sitting on a really cool grav cycle. It was obviously suppose to be a racing setting because the picture also had Rarity as one of the pit girls.
When I saw the picture I realized that it had been awhile since I had done any sci-fi tech. I'm talking about Type 3 tech where all that matters is that it looks awesome. In this case I used a shark and a Dassault Rafale jet fighter for my design cues. One thing I did give some thought to was how to keep RD's out of the slipstream as much as possible. When she leans all the way forward she can fold her wings and tuck them under the scalloped areas on rear part of fuselage. Also the top part of the rear fuselage has a shallow scallop that RD's tail can rest in.
Years ago I use to sit around and just brainstorm stuff like this all day long. So it was nice to get back to my roots with stuff like this. I was also fun figuring out how to incorporate the Wonderbolt's design into grav cycle's paint scheme.
