is it just me or is the budget very slim for stealth R&D?
typically when purchasing a small fleet of jets are in the billions....in this case creating one only took 300M? I know Japan's economy hasn't been hot the last decade.
yeah the mock prototype looks flimsy as hell...almost like a paper mache Avro
They took off the shelf systems and parts of other airframes to make it. Its a budget plane. The Shinshin looks like it would work but in reality stealth is going to prove to be less and less effective as they implement new radar and tracking systems.
They have already done studies with old radar systems and found that the older style of radar in fact picks up the stealth aircraft so why bother spending billions to make a super advanced stealth plane when it is likely it will be of very little to no use.
Watching the vid in the attached link shows that it's actually pretty modern and stealthy, I think the image preview of the video isn't a good representation of what it actually is, throw some matte paint on there and it looks pretty good.
I saw Timpo had posted here, and I will admit that a small part of me was hoping that he was posting a picutre of the new Liberty Walk stealth fighter.
