What the heck is up with those flaps?

Are they trying to create extreme vectoring?

From what I see, it will shear off almost immediately.

How is this possible? china copies russian designs.

And of course, we know the politically weighed-down F035 albatross looks like:

Sounds like the Chinese are trying to encourage Raptor exports.
I’m sure they’d love to get their hands on one.

Despite their suppression, eBay is available in China.

Build a better aircraft, but can you produce a better pilot?

"...eBay is available in China."
LOL! Does PayPal handle $100,000,000+ transactions?

There is no such thing as one size fits all.

There is a reason the Air Force planes can roll the Navy’s.

Naval planes need more sh*t on their landing gear to be able to sustain the impact of carrier landings. That equals weight.

One size fits all sounds like a marketing angle. Don’t buy it!

Reminds me a little bit of the 1980’s era concept model of a MiG-37 fictional Soviet Stealth Bomber/Fighter that Testors put out. It was an analogue to the F-117.

Damn the democrats already sold our stealth technology to China..
Kind of hard to have a military with so many traitors present..
What else did they sell them.. submarines and sonar and radar technology?..

Clintoons Chinagate contacts must've come in handy..

That thing doesn’t even look like it could get off the ground. If it could, I bet it’d have the turn radius of a refrigerator. Lockheed worried? On the contrary, they’ll probably use this as an example of the Chinese “threat” to sell more Raptors and Lightnings.

I remember that! I assumed it was real since Testors produced a plastic model.

A lot of U.S. pilots would love to get their hands on one. Not likely with Obami the Commie in charge

What the heck is up with those flaps?
