Wow, that's a lot of work, engineering and cash!!! Would love to see some inflight shots with the gear up.

Definitely an A+ on the cool factor, but it would be interesting to see some un-biased testing to see whether/how much the decreased drag makes up for increased weight...

Looks like the fuel tanks are outboard of the landing gear in the leading
