from certain angles those wings have a lot of dihedral.
They just plain have a lot of dihedral.

It is one of the those fantasy designs that likely would not work, but you want it to.

Very nice job, Steve!

I love the "modern" 60's design (theoretical dihedrals and all!)!

The thing I liked about the cartoon was the comic-book quality of each of the animation cells! Your pic tends to capture that essence!

Again, very well done!

But, but it's got those fancy canard wings and a very large dorsal tail. Surely it has to work

You know, as a young lad, I never considered the aerodynamic shortcomings of those highly upward slanted back wings. The tail though, I always wondered about. I mean, cripes, it was so huuuuuge!

Maybe it doubles a sail. The wind can function as a backup power source in case the jet engines give out
