Look how big the canopy is - great for visibility, not so great for stealth. Radar energy will come right through it and reflect off pilot, helmet, seat, etc. Even with gold coating...

Look how thick the rear wing leading edge is. What speed is this supposed to fly at, 200 kts?

Look how small the engine inlets are. Any low speed performance? What about at high angles of attack, the pressure wave coming off the fuselage "hull" is going to starve them for airflow, causing a compressor stall.

This doesn't look like a serious design.

Yeah, about that canopy... the view from inside is so blurry that it looks like privacy glass.

Did you notice there are no latches on the canopy edges or any seals either? The wind noise will be horrific! If the canopy doesn’t tear off in flight. LOL!
