ahh. yes the tri padel thrust vertoring paddel which came from the -x-31
Rockwell-MBB X-31 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
dont you think there will be problems in regards too thrust. 2x xf5-1's at 49kn wet!!!! each
how on earth will be able to super cruise with a decent load. no offence here bro, but its power is near to that of the m88 on the rafale and this will be bigger than the rafale.
well thats just me being picky mind you the xf5-1 means it can easily be xf5-2 with power to that of the ej200

i can see the 5th gen market being saturated very quickly.
f-2020 from sweden
atd-x/f-3 from japan
j-31 from china
j20 from china
t-50 from russia/india
amca from india
f-35 from the usa
f-22 from the usa
kfx from south korea indoneasia and the usa (lockheed)
as far as i know the following countries are developing 6th gen fighters too.
russia
usa
china-early design stages
now in regards to europe.... well i know dassault is developing a 6th gen ifghter as france is not interested in 5th gen fighters and moving stright to the 6th gen fighters which will replace the rafale. lets face it the f35 is not going to replace the typhoon so i would assume bae systems is probably working on one to. or worse a joint european project.
