how much longer before FEJ makes one?

Looking forward to seeing what it can do. Love to see some close up shots to see some real detail.

Nice, but they should call it T-22

Check-out the Fox News article.

In particular, notice the cover photo and caption - since when does Russia use Langley based Raptors??

To me it looks like a mid-air between the F-22, YF-23, and Su-27. They've apparently traded low-observability in some areas for simplicity. The engine nacelle area specifically. The flying surfaces really look like they were directly copied from the F-22, the vertical tails, and fuselage from the F-23, and the engine nacelles from the Su-27.

haaaaaa classic reporting....they would've had better luck posting a pix of a Byron F16XL

Did Langley get some plastic palm trees?

Hi
Whenever the stupid near sighted political elite ( I use that term very loosely, Pigs in the trough might be more appropriate) of my country say that we no longer need Typhoons, we dont need to buy Lockheed F-35s or aircraft carriers and that conventional warfare is dead. I would like to show them a picture of the Sukhio PAKFA and ask them what are we going to do when a squadron of them coming knocking at our door?

I apolgise for the rant and will get off my soap box.

Second that! Same with out current collection of idiots in office.
