can you tell me why the Awacs pod is on the bottom?
I was inspired by the AWACS of Yukikaze. That and it would be interfere with the intakes if it was on top.
the awacs of Yukikaze never saw that bird got a link?
They're are few pictures of it since it played a minor role in the movie. But here is one. [link]

cool thanks its cool looking although not a VTOL how does this one land as i am trying to give a drawing with the rapiers
I think it was based of the Scaled Composites Proteus. It lands with its engines tilt upwards (like in the drawing) and it lands like the Osprey. In the air the engines tilt forward so its like a tilt rotor but with jet engines.
I mean the AWACs dome does that deploy in flight
Well it is always hanging, but the rear landing gear panel and wheel turn horizontally and the hinged panel behind it folds it over the dome, the rear landing gear ski is designed to fold and compact into the panel attached to it. It lifts into the body of the plane and the dome is left with no obstructions.
