I wonder why we’ve given up on the delta-wing design, while the French consider it still viable.

Americans are quitters?

French Rafale

Anglo/German Typhoon

Swedish Gripen

Indian Tejas

Chinese Vigorous Dragon

Maybe the question is why the USA is staying with the heritagw wingform?

Hey! I didn’t say quitters, did I? I just wondered why we’ve wandered away from that design, while other countries have pursued it. Notice how much these pics you’ve posted look a lot F-16? At least I see a lot of that in there.
