    http://www.lockheedmartin.com/data/assets/aeronautics/press_photos/2010/AF-3_firstflight_AF-3pr.jpg

    The ninth Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter entered flight testing on Tuesday, becoming the second test jet to fly with the next-generation avionics package that will populate all operational F-35s. The F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, known as AF-3, flew for 42 minutes during its first flight.

    F-35 Test Pilot Bill Gigliotti took off at 6:20 p.m. and initiated a series of flying-qualities tests in a flight focused on propulsion and vehicle systems operation. Some mission systems data were collected before the flight was curtailed by storms in the area.

    DSI is a non-moving intake design. The F-35 uses shielding and curved ducts to mask the face of the compressor, making it a non-reflective intake. We know nothing about the J-10B having stealthy materials or shaping. But we do know the DSI, being fixed, simplifies construction over the original design.

    The original design might actually be better. DSI is a way to cheapen production, not necessarily make it work better.

    thanks

    Not particularly stealthy, and not particularly better performing. Simpler. Cheaper.

    why? is not more stealthy? what about the F-35?

    I can only count twelve Meteors on the North side of the main runway and only one on the south side (fire dump)

    Two of the Meteors appear to be long nose NF variants..
