Canards mean the flight control system of F-47 isn't as good as the Chinese one.
I'm applying the same logic they applied to the J-20

US F/A-XX and F-X & NGAD - 6th Gen Aircraft News Thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
If the Indians can claim that J-36 is a Tejas knockoff surely we can claim that F-47 is a J-20 knockoff.

Yes. This satellite photo was taken (or publicized) right after the J-36 and J-XDS' debuts, but it is certain that the aircraft has been existing and flying way before then.
There's no way that those are X-planes.
And given the present development progress of the manned components of 6th-gen systems on both sides of the lake, I'd say that both the US and China is reaching, if not already reached the prototype (if not EMD) stages for their respective manned components of their 6th-gen systems within these few years.
(Further discussion will be continued in the Chengdu next-gen J-36 thread)

The US is already aware F-47 will be totally obsolete by the time it enters service.
There is a rumor that Trump is claiming that F-47 has flown first five years ago because it would skip the Biden presidency…
BTW the black shadow on top of the plane isn’t there to hide the vertical slabs. The reality might be worse — they are there to hide dorsal intakes…

Jokes aside there does appear to be a lot of gloating which is pretty deserved for the Americans. However based off the aircraft render itself from the two images we've seen, The design looks pretty unique and impressive, clearly builds a lot off the X-36 and I'm really intrigued by the potential dihedral wing. The F-47 could potential turn out to be insanely impressive in terms of capabilities, they've definitely gone all out on the design of this aircraft, I can see how this proposal from Boeing was "more revolutionary" than what lockheed's proposal could've been. This is no time to be only joking about the aircraft and it's development.
Apparently Lockheed showed their NGAD on Twitter and deleted it
For someone who's pioneering the "Art of the Deal" even amongst his allies, that's one hell of a sales pitch.
Ah, so LM has the J-36 analogue but US is too broke to afford it so they settled with a J-50 analogue and call it a day. Makes sense....
My god...
