Yes it does as it’s not the F-16 or whatever teen which is contemporary to the F-35.

Maybe with the F-22 and PAK FA as reference not some 30+ years older legacy design;)

The first crash of DA6 on November 21 2002 was caused by the engine control/engine combo. The new DECU wasn’t adjusted for the old engine and didn’t behave as expected when the engine tests were conducted. The result both engines flamed out and the crew was unable to restart them. At that time both crew members ejected successfully. The aircraft crashed in an unpopulated area. It took about a day to discover it IIRC.

And Flankers can? :rolleyes:

@MadRat,
the MIL STD 1760 has been available since the late 80s for the F-15 family and was obviously retrofitted to older example in order to be able to use the AMRAAM.

Looks like an interesting concept.

+1 with Das Kardinal
the F-15 was never stealthy in anyway, the ECDs were all designed with signature reduction measures in mind. There were/are proposals for improved stealth technology. Dassault for example studied stealthy hulls for external weapons, which would be ejected prior weapons release. There are certainly other ways to reduce signatures, RF signal management will be improved with the introduction of AESA radars and other stuff and there are options for IR-signature reductions for the EJ200 for example. We’ll certainly not see any internal bays and with the current CFT designs, there is no way to develop them into CWBs. The ECDs are to small and CFTs are carried on the shoulders. Other than rail-launchers nothing could be used from their and even that is questionable.
Anyway I don’t think we’ll see a significantly stealthier version of any ECD anytime soon.
