Wow, it doesn’t look anything like our planes. /SAR
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
At least the Soviets could come up with their own designs.
But where did they get the Raptor plans?
From pictures you can get only the shell.
I wish we were told more. Like this wiki stuff has been useful because we’ve found out all the stuff that WE on FR knew already but the DUmmies deny.
I wish we knew more like what information of ours the chinese have, and theories on how they might have got it.
Intelligence should work WITH the people. They have the same aim as us - to maintain American power in the world.
Europe is a clear example of this. If the intel over there had worked WITH the people over the 70s and 80s when things were more free, and educated people in the real issues of the world, they wouldn’t have the massive problems they do now.
The instinctive secrecy of intel works against their primary purpose.
Allow me to play armchair aerodynamacist.
Not enought wing area ( a la F-35, Thud, etc) and not enough Vertical tail.
Lead Sled in the making....
if we still hung traitors, they would not leak these things.
Except for the B-29, the Space Shuttle, and titanium metal technology. Have you seen their new Raptorsky?
Do you even have any clue at all?
Foxbat? are you kidding me, the fighter is a CANARD layout fighter, how could this copy your craptor?
Btw, we all know Craptor is a crap rip-off of Russian’s stone-age MiG-25/Foxbat, the aerodynamic layouts of the two are BASICALLY the same, no wonder you all should thank that famous Russian pilot for letting you copy all your ways to your Craptors.
We all know Raptor looks like a MiG-25, which suggesting Belenko must has been the project director & chief designer of your Raptor.
ROFL
You better save your amatuerish wannabe aerodynamicist to yourself.
Are you sure the fighter dont have sufficient wing area?
ONE PRIMARY DESIGN FEATURE OF THIS CANARD-LAYOUT FIGHTER IS THAT IT HAS WAY LARGER WING AREA COMPARING TO YOUR F-22.
Just deal with it.
LOL - But we'll make up for it with horsepower!
I’ve seen that canard.
Good thing that the Chinks can’t make decent jet ENGINES!
A present for the kitties...
Ever seen a MIG 29 sitting next to an F-16?
Wing area is highly overrated at Mach 2.....
Oh really...Where did you get your Engineering Degree? Walmart?
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
