FMA SAIA 90

I wonder if FA-18 was copy of this argentinian air superior fighter design ?

There´s a connection between the two designs, the “FMA” SAIA 90 is nothing else, nothing more than one of the Dornier TKF-90 designs, those designs were made together with Northrop (the most famous one being the ND-102), the same chaps who had designed the P-530, then the YF-17 wich was the base for the Hornet.
The best model that i´ve ever seen for the “SAIA 90” is a wind tunnel test scale in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, but it actually is part of the Eurofighter development program.

Thats pretty unlikely considering Hornets first flight was in 1978, wiki says that thing was being designed in mid 80’s.
