F-47 Design Progressing, First Flight On Track

[KAL-EL]

How the tables have turned. Back in 90s the US had F-16 and China had J-7 and China was playing catching up. Now it is the US playing catching up.

What does this have to do with the subject at hand?

In some people's minds perhaps.

In others, no.

It's a relevant comment.

There is a cadre of folks who think China is now superior because they have publicly shown flying prototypes and the US has not.

They are free to believe what they wish.

Final warning for a few of you.

Stay on topic.

Ok, So what if I said that the F-22 raptor first flight was in 1997.

Yet here we are in 2026, and the F-22 raptor is still the most lethal stealth air superiority fighter on the face of the Earth

I guess my point being who knows what the USA is currently working on now behind the scenes that will dominate the skies decades from now

I would consider it relevant as it demonstrates the technical superiority of the design much as the B-52 continues to serve close to 80 years AFTER is was first on the drawing boards.

That said, if the comments are relevant to how the US approaches its designs in support of the F-47 program, I'll allow it.

Nonsense or otherwise off-topic comments won't fly. I'm frankly getting tired of some of the pointless bickering and see here in the notes that one of the other mods agreed.

Why are you always unable to communicate calmly? Hasn't anyone ever said you have a hot temper and are authoritarian?

because you're trolling

Couple of ya's; time out time if you can't be civil.

If you feel a post is trolling, etc., then report it. The mods or admins will address it.
