Description
This supports the second theory the this plane is a replacement for the Aging IRIAF F-5 fleet.
And yes I'm excited about this jet. After all the identical looking 5th gen jet and "next-gen" trainer/attack we have been getting for the last few years, we finally have something the actually stands out of the crowd.
stands out?! this thing is probably the most copy cat yet
Find me another combat jet that has four fixed wings.
Well. It's still alive, so that's something. Interesting looking craft, certainly the smallest we've seen in this tier so far.
What's with the downwards flaring of the wingtips?
To provide a stable flight surface without the need for a complex fly-by-wire. Boeing tired it with their Bird-of-prey concept and it worked pretty well: En.wikipedia.org
