memes aside, why do every other "6th gen" official designs have either vertical fins or canards?
Did the reliance on fake-thrust engines neuter the ability of the West to make/engineer sound aerodynamic designs?
Discuss seriously please.

What the fuck are you even talking about. Flying wings have been a thing for a long time, MANTA was a proof of concept from 30 years ago, having all the bells and whistles on your plane in terms of control surfaces doesn't necessarily mean shit in the age of stealth and sensor networking.
The serious answer is this is a bait thread.
>Reminder (a bunch of baseless conjecture and assumptions about ???)
Bait. Thread.

Real 6th gen has neither canards nor vertical surfaces. Currently only china seems capable of managing with such few aero surfaces thanks to flexible ram coatings and probably superior modelling software to simulate combined CFD and radar reflectivity.

>>63874053
I am talking about the fake T/W. Proof of concept doesn't mean jack shit. And they were subsonic. I hate niggers like you that keep yapping about "almost" piece of shit concepts that never see real world application.

the NGAD canards appear to be flexible skin not all-moving
means they're not as big a penalty as usual

>>63874089
wtf are you even talking about

>the NGAD canards appear to be flexible skin not all-moving

Oh boy you got no clue what you're talking about

>>63875237
oh you haven't seen the research patents and demonstrators
yeah so the US has been looking into flexible control surfaces vs traditional mechanical solutions for a good few decades
The primary cause of radar return on a canard is the mount, exposed surface, and leading edge varying its angle. Through varying the lifting surface geometry rather than the overall angle you reduce or eliminate those penalties while still allowing for some control.

I don't understand it, therefore it isn't real.

Huh?

Fuck off chink

>>63878990
chink, stop copying what is by far the cringiest ameriburger shilling. The fags at eglin dont do themselves any favors doing those posts. Way to prove that chinks copy literally everything, even to their own detriment.
The f35 looks like ass and so does your j20

>>63874088
implessive

>>63879026
bump for more butthurt kek

>>63874088
true

>>63874089
I have zero idea what kind of delusion you could possibly be referencing. NGAD engines that aren't even in production? F-119 or F-135??? Your instant screeching makes me think this throwaway post hit a nerve. Is the basis of your claim the idea that Thrust-to-Weight ratios simply don't exist?

Either way you proved the point of my post instantly. Bait thread.

Unironically derived from the kabbalistic space magic of the Lavi

>>63874008 (OP)
I like how chinks conveniently ignore their "stealth plane" being an elongated f-22 with canards

>>63874008 (OP)
As an American, I fucking hate seeing faggots as smug as some of the most insufferable retards here in the States. I want to strangle whoever made that. It is such an extraordinary simplification. (True) 6th gen will likely have no vertical stabilizers nor any canards. These both severely compromise stealth signatures and are obvious points of removal.

The B2 was developed in the 80's and lacked any of that shit. It was a flying wing, and I suspect any future developments will be similar.

>>63878990
Man, chinks are ugly.

>>63878990
Kek, that chick looks like an anorexic Chinese dood. Please do us a favor an not make that comparison unless it is actually attractive to look at.

Not good optics for ur fighter, kek.

>>63878990
Man shoulders
Man hips.
Takes little imagination to understand why that thing still wears a mask despite the gook level of plastic surgery.

>>63883843
Everything, even the format of the memes made by their aggrandising state run social media warriors is copied from their betters
There is some chink somewhere who is STILL booty bothered that some random faggot on the internet laughed at the similarity of the j20 to the f22 ten years ago, which is why they directed the creation of this image, honestly an implessive length of time to hold a pointless grudge, and really speaks volumes about the mind of the insect

>>63884303
what about that bulge?

>>63887671
My mind is unstable (mental illness). Does that mean I'm a maneuverable fighter jet?

>>63889476
I look at the undercarriage as the belly, not the whole thang. Pic rel. J-20 just looks shitty, even compared to an F-16 replacement.

>>63889476
Ever hear about the pubic mound nigga?

>>63889651
^this
I'd post the wikipedia image for it but I've gotten banned for it before.

>>63874008 (OP)
They're called "control surfaces" and "stabilizers" for a reason, anon.
