this picture in particular should be familiar, its similar to the one in the magazine above but albeit of CGI and not as good as a photoshop job

Yup, it's definitely familiar ... as is the upper one - but for different reasons. It looks like a complete amalgam of several different stealth aircraft designs.

The wings are lifted straight off the YF-22. The upper fuselage from the cockpit back is from the YF-23(with the exception of the exhausts terminating in afterburners, as opposed to the -23's troughs), as are the tailplanes (although these are set outwards a bit from the -23).

The forward fuselage looks like a cross between a "squished" YF-22 and the Sukhoi Platypus (esp the nose).

The intake (sugar scoop) looks similar to both the X/F-35 inlet test rig that was flown on an F-16, and the X-32 inlet.

As far as the photoshopping job goes, I was struck by the fact that in the photoshopped picture, you can actually see the reflection of the aircraft, along with the ladders/test stands, in the hangar floor ...

the first American Rocket looks similar with the German V2, the Tomahawk looks similar with the V1, the most US fighters use Deltawing, similar to DR.Lippisch development, the Radar system of the F22 is similar to the Radar, thats development for the Eurofighter ( canceld, because to expensive, but finish ) and the Russian use this Technology sine 1987 aktive in the MIG31( Phased array Radar )
Jet Engine, from Germany
Lampyridae looks F117, but was earlyer in Germany !!!

In the end, of course all the engineers need to follow the physik rules of aerodynamik.
Without the second world war, and without the lucky position of the Island of America,and all of the technology stohlen after that, they would be India or China today.
Everyone should think about this.
