Yes, you thought, ofcourse. That's because you made this condition which hasn't got a connection with reality.
In any case, you thought wrong, we are talking about a possible future 5th gen Japanese fighter to which US will provide support because Japan has been denied the purchase of F-22's. It's also irelevant about the engine part, the only thing that matters in this debate is that it will have engines, contrary to your questioning about the availability of it.
Your further questioning about the transfer of 5th gen. tech. is also irelevant as i gave you sources claiming it will be so.
HAHA so NOW we are actually talking about a semi-indigenous effort program here. I got it. My bad, my man.
It doesn't matter. We are debating about a Japanese fighter to which the KAI F-X has no influence at all. You are just using it for deflection.
My point is the ADT-X program could end up like the KAI F-X with so much high expectation and flop once cost and technical barrier hit in the head. Now, the Japanese 1% defense budget is not going to cut it for a ADT-X program. They have to raise the defense budget, which lead to another issue. The Japanese needs to use as much saving in the govt budget to rebuild after the tsunami disaster and Fukishima nuclear leak. With these reasons in mind, I highly doubt the ADT-X will achieve its 2016-2017 development phase as planned, just like many experts have predicted.
More of your assumptions that more often then not are wrong. In other words
Like you would know what's gonna happen in the future. You don't even know properly for the present.
Bud, it's common knowledge in Northeast Asia to keep stability by not allowing Japan to go nuke. That is the status quo.
You asked for requirements, i gave you requirements straight from US gov. site. Now you are trying to weasel your way out by expecting me to give you a picture of a prototype while knowing i cannot do that. However, quite evidently, work has already begun on 6th gen. development, most people in the aviation world believe it, if you don't, noone cares. Keep sticking the air you have in between your ears in the sand.
Bud, proposal during research phase is not official okay? Do you even know the main criteria for a 4th and 5th generation fighter? In my humble opinion, the main separation between a 5th and a 6th-gen should be the UNMANNED stealth as Russia defined it. Nope, it is not official and subject to change as more research is needed to define a 6th gen. Everything is still up in the air, bud.
They weren't building 5th generation because they were trying to get approval for the F-22?
Japan has sent astronauts to the ISS, making that effectively their manned space programme, their unmanned programme is way more advanced the China's, same as delivery systems and in general, the whole army is more advanced. Society too.
Who are you kidding dude, they are building stuff on par with western tech for decades, while China has just started with copying and cobbling up together bits and pieces reverse engineered and obtained from spying.
Your air to air missiles are copy of Russian and South African, air to ground are carbon copy of Russian missiles, your planes were drawn by Israelis (J-10), some by MiG (J-20), the J-31 is the result of supposedly non critical (according to LM) tech obtained during the F-35 programme, Z-10 was drawn up by Kamov, the "new" transport helicopter is a copy of the S-70, your electronics are dual purpose things you are allowed to import from the west mixed with Russian tech. transfers etc, etc.....
So, to summarize, you exagerate your arguments a bit (to put it mildly), provide no sources for your claims in contrast to me, the highly reputable sources i provide you question with disingenious dumbass questions ala "why would the US blah bla blah", etc, etc....
LOL! It was an international cooperation. Base on your ant's brain logic, India put an astronaut in 1980s on Russian rocket, so it must mean their space program is more advance than China. Japan had NEVER developed a manned spaceflight program. Their latest plan is 2025! Currently, ONLY the USA/Russia/China independently have a manned spaceflight program.
Their army is more advance? As in what? LOL Our army enlistment is based on a volunteer basis with the BIGGEST army ground troop in the WORLD! If Japanese army is so much advance and powerful, perhaps, they should stop hiding behind the USA's shoulder, asking for the help to deal with China. HAHAH
Bud, I think you're watching too much Gundam where you equal conceptual robot fighter as some form of realistic technology superior. Their AI Robot is equivalent of a cockroach's brain from the mouth of a Japanese-ethnic physicist and modern tehnologist Michio Kaku. LOL
LOL Soviet does it, USA does reverse engineering of Nazi Germany aircraft program. It's no shame to reverse engineer, bud. In fact, it should be highly encouraged as it helps advance human technological progression.
Another lie. LOL J-10 chief designer Song Wencong and it designs based on J-9 which preceded the Israel IAI Lavi aircraft. By your logic again to undermine China's achievement when the USA intelligence accused, it supposes to be 100% accurate and real. Then in that case, what happen to the Iraq's WMD program? LOL Now you need to calm down and listen. I will admit that we did copy a few of USA's technological data to accelerate our development initially but make no mistake about it, we put in the effort to research ourselves to achieve a truly indigenous program. We can proudly say within 10-years, we will no longer need a single western import for our national defence.
Speaking of your Japanese SUPERTECH Epsilon-1 Rocket...

JAXA's Epsilon Rocket Too Smart; Cancels its Own Launch
On August 27, Japan’s next-gen, supertech Epsilon-1 rocket, along with its SPRINT-A satellite cargo, remained unlaunched after the live televised countdown. Perhaps not so very next-gen, nor supertech? Well, the humans forgot about a signal delay, and the rocket aborted the launch. Who’s that on?
Smartrocket Aborts with 19 Seconds to Go...
In the final moments of last Tuesday’s launch from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s Uchinoura Space Center in southwestern Japan - approximately 1100 km/683 miles southwest of Tokyo as the flying thing flies - the Epsilon-1 rocket, carrying the SPRINT-A orbital exploration platform, detected then unknown irregularities in things that should have been regular. It’s the second launch delay this summer (our coverage). Investigation & analysis ensued.
Turns out that, while somewhat overly dramatic, it’s not entirely inaccurate to say that Epsilon’s “artificial intelligence” autonomously aborted the launch after detecting a problem. It would be wildly overdramatic, however, to cite this as evidence of Japan’s shiny new rocket being unready, or perhaps not so high-tech after all. Not to excessively anthropomorphize the whole affair, but the rocket didn’t make a mistake or have any faults in and of itself, it did, however, expose an oversight in the Turns out that, while somewhat overly dramatic, it’s not entirely inaccurate to say that Epsilon’s “artificial intelligence” autonomously aborted the launch after detecting a problem.

Not to excessively anthropomorphize the whole affair, but the rocket didn’t make a mistake or have any faults in and of itself, it did, however, expose an oversight in the
communication/synchronization processes that the humans missed.
Don’t Blame the A.I., Man!
According to an August 30 press release, JAXA believes that a 0.7-second signal delay between the rocket’s internal control and diagnostic system’s processor and that of the remote launch control prompted the mistaken report of an attitude or posture irregularity, i.e., “Hey guys, the rocket’s like, you know, aimed in the wrong direction.” While that diagnosis proved inaccurate, it nonetheless alerted engineers to the overlooked signal delay issue. So, they’re fixing that.
Why’s Japan Making a New Rocket?
J-space agencies have been hammering away at various iterations of solid propellant, Epsilon-like rockets for more than a decade (formerly, the M-V Launch Vehicle). In JAXA’s words, the project seeks to:
“...build a system which will allow the frequent launch of launch vehicles by largely-reducing operational costs through enhancing aspects of operational efficiency, such as assembly and inspection. Through increased launch opportunities, we anticipate that space development activity will increase. The biggest goal of the Epsilon Launch Vehicle is to make space more accessible as rocket launches are made easier.”
The key advancement is the vehicle’s ability to do self-diagnosing pre-flight checks and balances. So like, you know in the movies where there’s that big half-circle room full of pocket protectored rocket scientists staring at their monitors and/or the big view screen, and then minutes before launch, each team leader sounds off:
“Weather is a go!"
"Avionics is a go!"
"Plyometrics is a go!"
"Neopilates is a go!”
...those guys are replaced by Epsilon’s on-board diagnostics. Crudely described, the Epsilon system makes launching a satellite into orbit as easy as some dude clicking “Launch Rocket Now” on a laptop. Epsilon then takes a good look at itself and decides Go or No-Go (no, in this case).
That’s the goal - through this very streamlined, high-performance, low-cost system, JAXA hopes to get a bigger chunk of the getting stuff into space business - stuff like the Spectroscopic Planet Observatory for Recognition of Interaction of Atmosphere (SPRINT-A) satellite. Which is now stuck on earth observing only the inside of Epsilon.
It is Rocket Science, After All
JAXA’s currently working to compensate for the 0.7-second processor delay, and with good weather are hoping for a re-do before the end of the month (the preferred launch window closes on September 30).
Stay tuned - we’ll keep you hip.
