But pcfem, you still think the F-35 is gonna cost $60m!! You’re about as credible as Reuben F. Johnson who said the Su-35 is the PAK-FA!!
…but maybe the Chief Designer is a liar! so there’s no point in developing those 2-D nozzles then, if they can’t even get the basics right huh?
You have to let it go now pfcem, these new, genuine pic(s) are indisputable.
The T-50 is what the F-35 should have been :p
…now where have I seen a similar ‘ribbed’ structure :confused:
I owe kapedani an apology, he was right (his favourite word), the MLG wheel does appear to retract into the wing root as he stated (pending photographic confirmation of-course).
However, the light grey ‘ribbed’ outer-wall of the S-duct is now clearly visible (significantly inboard of the MLG cavity), in several photos with pronounced curvature:
Je t’aime…
…from the top picture it’s clear the sizeable lateral diversion the duct would have to make (irrespective of where the wheel goes) to bypass the MLG cavity- denoted by the underside louvres, there’s also the vertical/diagonal diversion.
Anyone with half a brain can see that.
