flying at over 100 knots faster than it's maximum air frame design would allow
Airframe design doesnt stop a plane going faster. The term is VNE, and its the Velocity Never Exceed.. This means the stresses on the airframe may cause damage or handling problems. In a diving turn with engines at full power, it wouldnt be hard to excedd design speed.
An analogy using bike, would be a scooter that is flat out at 50 ks, could easily exceed that if you ride it flat out down Cunninghams Gap...
Very clever showing Military Aircraft with sensor pods, all of wich were forward of the wing root. The "Pod" alluded to in the pictures seemed to be more of a conformal affair fitted along the right fuselage along the wing root. However such an item cant be fitted there, as it would cover the landing gear wells. Below is a pic of a 767, and if you zoom in, you can see that there is indeed a flared fuseleage. With the right paint job, lighting and camera angle, may cast a sinister shadow.
