Again, a non issue.it’s not the strain gauge, it is the actuators to apply the stress to get the strain.

Perfect.Should we expect V2's maiden flight in 2021?

But thats just a prototype, right?V2?? ... V2 is already flying since 23. December 2016.

Going back to Huitong's post about the new mockup pic, he mentioned it has a "...higher cockpit and spine for a better pilot view..." Does that mean it has a similar cockpit canopy shape to the F-35? Looking back at the new pic of it being transported, it does look like it.

F-35’s cockpit view is rather poor compared to previous generation of fighters like the F-15, F-16, Su-27, j-10, as well as F22 and J20.Going back to Huitong's post about the new mockup pic, he mentioned it has a "...higher cockpit and spine for a better pilot view..."

Why do you think they've designed it like that? I mean, I suppose the HMD would compensate for the lack of situational awareness. Although, I think the F35-style canopy offers a greater view forwards and sides, but not backwards.F-35’s cockpit view is rather poor compared to previous generation of fighters like the F-15, F-16, Su-27, j-10, as well as F22 and J20.
it relies on a virtual reality cockpit that uses the equivalent of backup cameras on your car. except the camera image is projected through a VR helmet.
F-35 has no choice, there's a great huge lift fan and doors that need to open up behind the cockpit.Why do you think they've designed it like that?
