FFR-31_Driver
Damnit, why are we stuck with the F-22 when the Russians are building stuff like THIS? Are our aviation industries just expensive fronts for aspirin-engraving firms or something!?

I dread the day they figure out how to put the wings on 'em!

This is not a photoshop of the x-31, its an actual russian prototype. and yes, the wings ARE on the right way, this configuration decreases drag, increases manouverability, and makes the plane handle better at low speeds

Wonder if they had to use duct tape to hold the wings on like ours...

Unfortunately Russia has no money for serial production
The disadvantage is high wing fatigue
A forward swept wing is aerodynamically instable
Itll bend against the airflow - stressing the wing & roots
Still cool airplane, though I like the X-29 better

This FSW does NOT decrease drag. Indeed, the wing fatigue is the worst problem. Great lift and manuverability, though.

also possibly from ace combat zero? notice writing almost cropped off at the top
