Cool looking plane, let's hope it's built and works like a tool from Wal-Mart.

"...designated the J-14...it is actually a full-scale engineering mockup..."

More engineering mock-ups of chinese stealthy aircraft. This one is called J-1 and was developed several thousand years ago. At the turn of the 20th century two brothers used the J-1 concept vehicle to launch what they called an aeroplane at Kittyhawk.

Somehow I can't escape the feeling that this "design" also meant $100,000 into DNC coffiers somewhere.

Great looking plane, now they just need some pilots.

Unfortunately, their best guy Wong Wei (pronounced "W(r)ong Way") still sleeps with the fishes after tangling with our E3 surveillance plane back in April 2001.

What is even worse is this is based off of the MiG 1.44 and the Sukhoi SU-47 stealth programs in Russia. The Russians gave China the specs for these programs, and are working together to design the stealth craft.

First things first, the image is a digitally created fake. A sophisticated one and whoever did it was quite skillful, but it is not real. There are however aerodynamic scale models of proposed J-14 variants that are real (but different than this picture) but those photos lack detail and are quite small.

Secondly, even if it were real, those are claiming it is a copy are obviouslly clueless. There is no other existing aircraft that even bears any remote similarities to the aircraft in the picture. The Su-47 was a heavily modified Su-27 airframe with forward swept wings. The Mig 144 project is only superficially similar in that both are twin engined planes featuring canards. Taken that to its natural conclusion, the aircraft in the picture would also be copy of the Gripen, Rafale, Eurofighter, the J-10, and any other aircraft with a canard that has ever flown.

And I don't know why people are still blaming Clinton for everything, p.s. It's been 6 years since he left office.
