The modern inception varies drastically in concept artwork from the original, the Panther wasn't an atmos vehicle and thus aerodynamics was not an issue, this bulky 'flying brick' design was one of it's key features and spoke more to it's gargantuan size and use in non-atmos environs than it's new implementation is rumored to be. In fact, the new version seems to be significantly smaller, and more akin to an Anaconda; it is unknown if there is a backstory justification for this drastic shift from design | The modern inception varies drastically in concept artwork from the original, the Panther wasn't an atmos vehicle and thus aerodynamics was not an issue, this bulky 'flying brick' design was one of it's key features and spoke more to it's gargantuan size and use in non-atmos environs than it's new implementation is rumored to be.
