I had not seen this posted here...but may have just missed it.

If not, it should have been...and if so, then it never hurts to reiterate it. Also, some great photos and comparisons in the article.

This article was written by one of our own Super Moderator's here on SD. It is a great acheivement and honor to be recognized by the US Naval Institute News site, and I am glad to see it posted accordingly.

Congrats Tphuang!

Thanks for posting Jeff, and congratulations TP, and as Jeff has stated it is a high honor to be recognized by the US Naval Institute News, we're all very proud of you TP, and I am thankful for your respectful and authoritative posts. No nonsense, no bull, just a fair and honest assessment, two thumbs up brother. the brat

Thanks. I have to say that I wouldn't be able to write a lot of what I wrote if not for all the back and forth analysis of all the members on this forums.

You are welcome my friend.

The gravitas of the forum goes up as a result of its professionalism, and the high level of discussion we have about military matters here, and the way in which we (usually...lol!) go about it.

Folks like yourself, Deino, cirvine11, popeye, and so many others help exemplify that and I thank you all for it.

According to the poster's speculation, they are indeed testing IFR.

If so, I'm puzzled on what can be accomplished by testing on such a small a scale model.

Possibly, they're setting up a wind tunnel model?

Of course!

LOL! I must have had a brain fart when I replied to you.

Also, if you're in the mood for J-20 knockoff accusations, here's a concept of the Project 701 interceptor that was designed to succeed the MiG-31 in the 1980s. It's a fortuitous find via the Aviationist on a thread about the Russian post-MiG-31 interceptor program.

Unlike say, the MiG 1.42/1.44, the planform needs relatively minor changes to go from here to the J-20. Move the engines from the back and down into the body, inlets move to the side of the aircraft instead of being on the top, double the tailfins and cant them, install a weapons bay, add back-swings to the rear of the delta, and presto, doesn't this plane look awfully familiar?

Also, while we're at the J-20 knock-off accusations, here's the Project 701 supersonic interceptor by MiG, from the 80s.

Yeah, just change everything to look more like the J-20, and I agree, it just might look a little bit like the J-20 when you're done.
