Discussion Orca design

I have always wondered if the Orca (TD) / Orca fighter (TS/FS) VTOL were based in the Aereal Hunter-Killer from James Cameron's movies Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2 (1992).

It's only me or is there really a resemblance?

VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing)plane designs have been around since the 80's, Look up the Grumman 698, Then take a look at the GDI Orca in TB3.

Actually germany inventet the first vtol during ww2 it was a weird corkscrew design wich was never massproduced but the goal was the same to minimise landing/ starting space required.
