ahhh cool submit aircraft designs? hmm to which company can I do that to? other than Rockwell?
Wow a beauty of a fighter, forget Rafale, Typhoon, J-10 or M4K or whatever the Gripen is a true beauty and a nice bird.
ehehhe, cool design, I can see the Israeli Markings. Wasn’t the Lavi a delta canard design?
Anyways that thing I made, no one answered any of my questions, what are the advantages and disadvantages of
-Pretty widely spaced engines, kind of like on the Black Widow II(designed for 3D TVC Engines)
-No vertical tails
-That larger shaped wing thats kind of crook/bent wing combined with horizontal tails.
Well this is just a basic shape of it, I have been designing some more, but anyways I do not specify any of that sort, I just like to do the shape and see people’s opinions.
Anyways, wut do you guys think of the wing shape and the no vertical tails.
hmmm I am not really sure, a multirole?
I know because it would be pretty similar, anyways any other advantages/disadvantages?
Japan has great avionics, like radar and other stuff but Japan lacks the engines, they seem to have no knowledge on developing engines, but they will learn. The F-2 is a nice bird but way too expensive, it really doesn’t matter for Japan because they have the money.

what makes you think that Russia can make a stealth plane ?
and what makes you think not?
India is going on with the development of the MCA and China is going on with the development of the J-12. I think Japan is also going to start working on a 5th generation plane, not sure about it. But thats about it.
no I meant Saudi Arabia not South Africa, Saudi Arabia was viewed as an potentional customer, what happend?
it’s NASA’s experimental F-15, I think it’s NASA’s, not sure exactly, but as you can see it has canards and a few other goodies just by looking at it.
why didnt SA buy it? yah hthe Mirage 4000 seemed like a great bird, as it seems that thing would’ve been all over a Flanker or an Eagle.
are there any other mini jet birds like the K8? Hmm 4 mill is an ok price. what about Indian IJT?
so how much might India’s IJT be? unarmed just a civilian version?
are there any other basic jet trainers out there?
yahh I dont think Russia will buy the Su-37 or the -35, the Flankers and Fulcrums will be upgraded and alot of them will be phased out when PAK-FA comes into service, and then after many more Fulcrums and Flankers will follow. the Su-34 will also come into service and will replace the Su-24 and other aircraft. Mig-31 will also last a few more years prolly, until they get a new interceptor, and I dont know whats going to replace the Mig-31.
it only had a population of half a million and a growth rate of about 20%
