The plane is too fat looking. No Aircraft this out of proportion will ever work.
It is heavier than the twin engined F-15C Eagle, in part because a single engine has weight increase by the cube of the diameter. 2 smaller engines is lighter and more powerful as a result. Irony that the Chinese copy has 2 engines. Also the Navy prefers 2 engines.
So heavier than F-15C, smaller wing and 25% less thrust. I am not sure how if flies at all. The lifting body effect would have been better with 2 engines and the aerodynamics too, allowing it to supercruise.
Imo they failed to apply some basic fundamentals thinking computers could somehow use electronic thelepathy to make it work. I sure hope so
Uh, that's a dumb thing to say...the F117 didn't even look like an aerodynamic body...
