I’ve mentioned before how I wondered what a prop fighter plane with modern technology would look like. Well…looks like someone is actually doing it 😨

Calidus B350 concept, a massive attack aircraft intended to run a 2700 shp PW-127 turbo prop

Its literally a Super Tucano on steroids #avgeek
a man stands besides a massive single engine, two seat turbo prop airplane parked in a hanger. It has tricycle landing gear and a low wing, painted in grey camo. The man’s head barely stands higher than the leading edge
