US patent system is public. So show us the patent. If you need any help, here is the USPTO web site... United States Patent and Trademark Office

I am Chinese....but this nonsense plasma "stealth" is making me sick. The law of physics applies everywhere. There is no such thing as plasma stealth except spaceship re-entry, when it can neither be seen, nor see anything.

Those are very old J-7II's(J-7B?). No double delta wings (J-7E). Well maintained. However, they are mostly waste of time except to keep the pilots somewhat engaged. It carries too little fuel, even for dog fight training. (And J-7II aren't that good a dog fighter anyway, even by 60's standard)

Can I dream? J-10 need to have its landing gear re-designed. The four under-body hard points can only carry bombs. If two inner-wing hard points carry fuel tanks, that only leaves four hard points for missiles. It needs to re-locate the landing gear (see how Typhoon does it) so the...

We agree on this. Then, F-22 simply shouldn't get close to that F-18 (or any 3G fighter) in a real fight. Just stay 50km away and fire the AIM-120's. The only problem is, if J-20 and F-22 meets, it is quite possible that both fighters have enough stealth to disallow the radar-homing missiles...

At this distance, I don't think the stealth matters. Nobody is biased against F-22. F-22 hardly ever loses during those exercises. I was just pointing out different tactics in dog fight. There are always sacrifices in design. F-18 and delta wing fighters go for the instant turn rate at the...

OK, I went to dig out the detail of the photo. The Super Hornet guns down the F-22 Raptor, page 1 According to the discussion on that page, the F-18 bled speed to 180 knots to get the shot. This is consistent with the tactic I paraphrased above on F-18 vs F-16. If the F-18 missed the shot...

2 against 2. Don't forget the wing-man of the first F-22.

Was there other fighters beating F-22 in dog fights? That particular exercise did have some details, including the photo of the F-22 in the crosshair, taken by the F/A-18. I also read the detailed story by the pilot. Sorry, I don't ever save the link to those stories. By the way, during NATO...

This thread is funny! But I will take the bait. US air force is a big fan of the energy maneuverability theory. It requires the fighters to maintain high energy during the dog fight. It has settled down to about 42 degree wings and very powerful engine for sustained turn rate. I doubt J-20 can...
