Slater Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It does look quite F-22-ish: https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/south-korea-rolls-out-prototype-of-its-first-indigenous-fighter-aircraft 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Looks more F-35 to me, although with two engines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Intakes are more F-22 style, tail, canopy as well. Size wise more an F-35 by the looks of it. And there will be two-seaters! But if you look at the Chinese J-31, and it's evolution, many similarities can be observed as well.... Tge inrakes, aka not diverterless is a key difference. What is known about the engines? 2 F-16 ones? PW- I would guess if so.... Thrust vectoring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web99 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Lockheed assisted in the design apparently so it would explain why there’s a lot of F-22 and 35 in the design. I’m curious on how it will compare to other 4th gen fighters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are all designed using the same computer programs and mathematical rules so they inevitably all look similar, unlike the "olden days" when they would be designed by a man with pencil and set of French Curves, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raptor seems to do it the best as it apparently has the radar cross section of a bee, hence why a lot of the newer aircraft have borrowed design elements from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
