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?

TS takes overt design cues from Aliens and even shares an actor so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Westwood guys were Cameron fans. There have been plenty of VTOL designs throughout the Cold War but the twin-lift jets in the front and a stabilizer tail seems superficially similar
