This here is a plane mixture design I have ha din my head for awhile, and since I had a hard time drawing the darned thing, I decided to use schematics found on the net to mix the parts that way. Trust me, drawing something like this isn't easy if it is done by hand. That being said. This was done up in Photoshop separately then put together after the completion of the Frontal view.
Similarities: The plane, like the F-35 and F-22, use stealth technology throughout the plane. The nose, taken from the SR-71, was added in an attempt to experiment with the tapered-edges in ties with the stealth capabilities of the Raptor and Lightning II. Also like the aforementioned combat planes, the Marlin also holds most of it's weapons in internal bays, uses two dimensional thrust-vectoring, and has SVTOL capabilities.
The computer equipment of the F-22 and F-35, such as AESA, infra-Red and Ultraviolet MAWS systems, Ratheon CIPs, BAE Systems E&IS AN/ALR-94 passive receiver radar system with IPIR, high-bandwidth data transmission abilities, the IEEE-1394B "bus system", and computer-aid controls and avionics are also present.
Differences: The differences of the F-29 to the Raptor, Lightning II, and Blackbird, are as follows: miniaturized versions of the F-22's wings act as canards toward the front, while the F-35's wings, reversed into a slight forward sweep, with three engines instead of two. The third engine in between the main Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofans, the Pratt & Whitney F135, has a 2.5 ton separate fuel tank located behind the cockpit under the engine, which has an elongated design in order to keep the plane's stealth abilities from being compromised. The two uses of the engine are for: afterboosting, and SVTOL. The second of which is obvious, while after-boosting is putting the F119-PW-100 turbofans into afterburner, then engaging the engine into afterburner.

Use plasma stealth and your design can be of any shape, weapons can be exterior, and etc; basically the slanted angles and RAM stealth technology is heavier and requires a smooth surface, a single scratch will remove any stealth capabilities, also firing; plasma stealth is light, unlike RAM.
The canard-delta wing design is good, much better than the F22's design which has no canards, but your canards need to be smaller and further away from the delta wing to be effective, right now there's too much surface and won't have any maneuverability in high speeds, but high in low speeds; think Eurofighter.
And lastly your vector engines, like the F22's, are simply extension-rotating vents that direct the exhaust, you could use the Russian design from the Su35 and allow for a much higher maneuverability, the entire engine being rotated instead of the flaps outside the engines, this means more thrust in the vectored direction, as well less wear on the engines.
You could also do some freaky sort of hovering mode by vectoring the engines all the way down which could also allow some exaust to be vented into a pipe system inside the plane that get pushed out through small slits around the plane, and a large one under the cockpit/nose. This will allow stability and fully functional hovering mode, and would weigh about the same without RAM and plasma instead.

Saying that a single scratch will remove any stealth capabilities is a huge exaggeration, it will damage the planes ability to maintain radar stealth if the scratch is small is size (which is the most like scenario probably 7 times out of 10), in which case the damage to the stealth capabilities will be minuscule, and for the most part, not something to worry too much about. Though coming from you is the first I have ever heard of this "Plasma Stealth" technology.
The Pratt& Whitney engines were used in this simply due to preference, this was designed to be an "All-American Plane"(I am quite aware of the contrary due the place of acquisition of the parts is not just in the United States).
I assume you are suggesting something similar to that of the Swat Kats, Turbo Kat hovering mode, but it is able to move around like the F35 did in Live Free or Die Hard?

No, actually it's not...quite literally a tiny scratch you could do say equivalent to keying a car a few inches will make the entire planes stealth fault. Also RAM has been recently broken with the use or weather radar and top-down radar invented by AU. The AU armed forces have a radar capable to detecting a stealth fighter at many, MANY miles away without a hitch. RAM is shit, it's heavy and doesn't work that well at all. A single bullet hole ruins the stealth completely.
Okay. Now answer me this. "What exactly is this 'plasma stealth' you speak of. Like I said, this is the first I have heard of such a stealth tech.
Also, If the movie Live Free or Die Hard was realistically showing the hovering capabilities of the Lightning II (it was mis-designated as an F-22) as I think it may have, then the hovering system alone would suffice, or perhaps are you suggesting a system similar to the Swat Kat's fictional fighter (Based off the F-14 Tomcat)the TurboKat?
If I remember correctly, the Lightning II in LFoDH did move around like a helicopter with it's VTOL system active.

Only one of three models can hover, it will be produced the least. The F35c is that model.
All F35's have very low armament, stealth, armor, speed, and other capabilities. They're cheap. And they suck.
The F35 can't move like a helicopter with vtol, it can go in all directions but it's nothing like a helicopter, it's designed to get you up and slowly push you forward until you can flick the engine back and go about your business normally. It's pretty much like the AV8B and it's not maneuverable in the slightest. That movie isn't a real F35, it wasn't showing its capabilities it was grossly exaggerating them. The F35 can't move nearly that fast in hover mode, nor can it engage that move so easily and the amount of ammo they fired in the time it was there was probably triple the amount it has.

and one more thing. Adding the VTOL capabilities to that aircraft would possibily give the aircraft that difficulties of doing maneuvers. due to it's weight added by the external engine "F-135". And what I see is that you only have two inlets, so there wouldn't be enough air given to the engines, so it may not produce enough thrust to give the aircraft the required rates of thrust to weight ratio.
The two inlets both feed into the external engine, the chambers leading to the engine, however, are closed off when not in use to make sure no air is wasted when feeding to the two main ones which would end up decreasing the air they receive.
The external engine used for "Afterboosting" as I have called it (cause it's an extra engine) has many applications. Including a Supercruise Assist to increase the speed of the Supercruise mode (IE turning on the external engine, but not putting it into afterburner), as an Escape Booster, and an Emergency Booster (For getting to places with great speed), and as an Emergency Engine and Afterburner.
Though looking back on this design. I think a smaller set of two, smaller SCRAMJET boosters plus "grilled" inlets would've helped the design greatly (cause of the concept that the smaller the space is, the faster air moves through it).
The plane, as you may have imagined, is named after the swordfish whose name the plane shares, because it is one of the fastest fish, if not THE fastest fish, in the sea. The goal was to make a fighter design that was plausible that could reach speeds that would rival the SR-71 Blackbird.

Most of the time I saw future fighter/airplane designs, artists will put all the best materials and cutting edge functionalities into it. Even they aware it's totally uneconomical because of the vast amount of advance tech put into a single machine, the usual answer is they want it to be acutely superior not just by performance , but also the 'economical approach' by building less of it to achieve the same task than minion-ize them.
So, it is reasonable that those comments above are mentioned the issues of future technology, but seldom about the price, productivity and maintenance behind it.
