I think America should really keep the designs with more greebles and edges.

Not for any structural reasons, of course, it just makes for better hiding spots for the fish and corals that are going to inhabit them once they slip off the carrier and into the ocean.

Triangulation of the plane.

Picturing ~~the~~ a meme of two planes talking:

“How many levels of triangle are you on?”

Amerikkka' 6th gen fighter, so far it's only on paper. When China's J-20 first appeared, all the NATO fanbois were saying that the J-20 is not stealthy because it uses canards, now their future F-47 is gonna have canards.

Yeah, I know f47. On the left, there's a f45 that as far as I can tell isn't a jet the US has/will have.

I could have sworn that the F45 was the concept jet that they showed a render of but haven't built yet, and it was pitched as a drone controller and shown off in the oval office - but I can't find a single article about it that isn't AI-generated clickbait. Now I'm wondering if the internet has collectively hallucinated this plane into existence.

Eurofighter Typhoon, Saab Gripen and Dassault Mirage 2000 say hi. European jets used delta wings designs for ages.

no mention of the French Rafale? are nato fanbois embarrassed that it got slaughtered 3-0 by China's J-10CE in one of the biggest aerial engagements in history?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I thought I mentioned it.

USA needs to step up its canard game.

Also, mad respect to F-14, my large wet variable sweep son.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like [picture of badminton birdie].
