Nice! Looks like a single-engined F22, but there's nothing wrong with that concept. Besides, when you have a computer designing your airplane for a single optimized factor (aircraft-carried RF stealth), planes are going to look similar. Just like the cars from the late 1980s and 1990s all look similar. |

Very cool. Looks surprisingly conventional – I was expecting more emphasis on stealth. Instead it looks more like a stealthier F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. |

Interesting. I'm seeing shades of F-35 and A/F-X. This may be one that actually has a proper avionics fitout, instead of 80s-vintage gear stuffed into a modern airframe.
It would be interesting if, given the generally constant but subtle weakening of the defense-only provision in Japan's constitution, this were to be available for export. Not likely, but certainly interesting. |
