Thoughts on Swedish A3 stealth drone concept?

Possible inspiration from existing PLA Type B 53536 test stealth fighter design?
>>
>>65448282
PLA stealth UCAV designs were unveiled around this time of the year last year:

Why are you so butthurt, chinkshill?

no, chinkshill, your implessive jets aren't inspiring anyone.

Kill yourself, they aren't even that similar

Why so butthurt? Asked a simple question.

Stealth aircraft are hyper-optimized designs and so all share very similar features because physics works the same everywhere.

The F-22 and F-35 look similar because they were designed by the same company. The B-2 and B-21 look similar because they were designed by the same company. The J-35 looks similar to the F-35 and the H-20 looks similar to the B-2 because they're chink knockoffs.
>>

The F-22 and F-35 look similar because they're designed to do similar things. The B-2 and B-21 look similar because they're designed to do similar things. Every stealth fighter designed to cruise at supersonic speeds is going to look vaguely like an F-22. Every stealth aircraft designed to cruise at subsonic speeds is going to look vaguely like a B-2. It's not just China developing similar designs.
The constraints of aerodynamic performance, RCS reduction, and needing space for all the things that make a plane work leave very little room for interpretation.

It’s fun how Lockheed, Northrop, and Boeing can all maintain immediately apparent distinct stealth fighter design lineages without overlapping each other, yet the laws of physics somehow prevent anyone else from doing so. Is there really something that special about the Mojave desert?
>>
>>65452474
YF-23 and X-32 are not massively dissimilar from their competitors, and perhaps there are reasons that said competitors were chosen over them.

You're right, they don't look anything alike.

The two-tone look on the YF-22 is pure sex. Shame they didn't keep it for the production model.
>>
>>65452566
Yes, nearly every design decision is different beyond being twin engine fighters with stealth shaping. Wing shape, tail configuration, inlet location and design, weapon bay configuration, stealth optimized trough exhausts vs thrust vectoring nozzles. It would be difficult to make them more dissimilar.
>>65452576
It’s a very attractive scheme. It’s call to mind a shark’s counter shading

I can think of a few ways
>>
>>65452613
>if it doesn’t have swing wings it’s not a different design
>>
>>65452634
YF-23 is closer to an F-22 than either are to an F-14/15/16/18
>>
>>65452814
Not even remotely. The general layout of the F-22 is far closer to any of the American twin engine 4th gens than it is to YF-23. All share very conventional tail layouts with roughly the same intake placement, while YF-23 deletes a set of control surfaces in favor or ruddervators and moves to a ventral inlet. It was an extraordinarily radical design for its day

If it's a stelth drone how will they find it?

I have a theory I think the elites leak the advanced weapons system just so the west will spend more money on developing new tech. When the nukes where developed bot sure why usa and the west didnt attack the east while they had a weapon that was way advanced.

Most likely, as there's no other possible explanation for the drone's shape. Saab never did anything remotely similar to a double delta wing.
They especially didn't have any prototypes already in the year of 1950, around 30 years before China barely started considering not doing retarded shit like mass famines.
>>
>>65453182
They obviously used the mini draken saab 210, you guys all forgot about it!

Because Westerners care about living peaceful lives and making money. What you're describing is a thirdie mindset.
