Another E glider concept

The chines are improve handling at Mach 3.Â* Don't you remember the SR-71?

And didn't the ending credits say that it was a Master's Thesis in
design or something similar?

Not thinking about the sensor fin.

at 0:25 in the video. The horizontal line mid screen a few inches below
the canopy. Looks like a transition between a flatish underbelly and
vertical cockpit upper side. Looks like the chines under a boat?
I see what you mean, the odd transition between the upper and lower
fuselage profile that extends to the tail. Perhaps structural, or for
style? I find it hard to believe it does much for the aerodynamics
except produce a bit of drag.
Graphical artifact?

In the top view just from the right it looks as though it sticks out as
far as the sensor does and is blurred, while from the top left it only
seems to extend a cm or so and in other views it just looks like a
blurred line along the fuselage.
