    Song Game

    Let's see if we can make it through this song from my favourite band.

    "From the frozen North they came
    Fought for founding fathers' claim
    It was then,
    Their tale began.

    So My Favourite Manufacturer Just Put This Out

    My favourite manufacturer of aircraft just released a mock up of their soon to come stealth jet, possibly called the Su-75 Checkmate. It's an interesting looking bird but who knows, maybe it'll be a success unlike the Su-47.

    Here's an image of it:

Better looking than a few recent fighters, eh?

I know nothing about planes or vehicles but- look, it has a little mouth! :trollestia:

That's called a ventral intake which is used so air can get to the jet engine.

It does make the Checkmate look like he's smiling at us though :rainbowlaugh: :twilightsmile:

Cough starscream cough

The Americans didn't copy the Russians with the X-29. Get your time periods correct. The Su-47 (1997-present) came after the X-29 (1984-1991) and both are attempts to improve the forward swept wing concepts proven by the Junkers Ju-287.

"Akula Niner Six Six, possible factual deviation, please call your local aerospace museum to learn your stuff."

Well then, if you know so much, explain to me the origin of the IFF system. Also, you could benefit from some humility lessons, yes?

Ever since they started making 4th generation fighters, the Russians have made some the very pretty airplanes that all started from a single design.

My favorite looking jet fighter is still the YF-23, which had V-tails like the Checkmate.
