Close enough for a patent infringement lawsuit. And if the plot is
about a warplane AI going berzerk, and I were a bigwig at NG, I would
NOT be amused.

Relax, in the movie the aircraft is a Boeing F/A-37 Talon. And its
configuration is NOT the same as the Switchblade if you see any 3-way
profiles of the Switchblade. A basic concept of a multi-sweep wing
isn't anything.

Then if I were at Cessna I'd sue them for stealing the designation for the
A-37
Dragonfly counterinsurgency aircraft.

Cessna would be the wrong party to sue. It was USAF who assigned the
designation A-37.
