Can’t imagine its bigger than a 14. But the USAF is also wanting to buy 15s with a compatability pack so they can work well with 22s. And in WWII, someone could have navalized it somehow probably or built a similarly capable machine. Today that would take 20 years and cost half the defense budget.

The 35 is dismal and people are scrambling for solutions. And there aren’t enough 22s to go around.

The 35 is the second coming of the same idiocy that brought us the TFX project that resulted in the F-111 - a fighter that couldn’t dogfight and was the size of a medium airliner.
