Yeah, it looks great from the bottom. But you look up top and...

It's nice as well, arched and predatory.

Perfect as in for stealth/low rcs purpose?

As well as aesthetics.

I know your preference is for the entire Air Force to become a product lineup of Dorito, Dorito Plus, and Dorito Plus Max but please spare a thought for AeStHeTiCs :(

Aesthetics is the primary why I want all combat aircraft (and drones, and missiles, and force multipliers) to be Doritos/hopeless diamonds.

The benefit to capability and signature reduction is neat as well, but imagine a whole fleet of hopeless diamond variants of varying sizes, roles and utilities, and the aura of that.

Dunno man, the top intakes on the J-36 lowkey reminds me of a mohawk.

Please spare me from the fate from existing in a universe in which future aircrafts are all arrowheads.

I'll take my lambda wing with (God please) variable tails.

This man will promote the ugliest contestant in the pageantry if it can get the ugly job done. Blitzo is anointing the hulking football pro as the winner of the next miss universe contest if he’s a judge.

The best fate in the future is one of massed arrowhead variations.

The top intake gives me the vision of a lion or tiger crouched, about to leap.

I unironically think arrowhead aircraft are peak aesthetics, and the more of them the better.

I'm sure in future there will be better looking tactical arrowhead/hopeless diamond aircraft than J-36, but as J-36 is the first of its kind and profile, it automatically supersedes everything else.
