Combat superiority
Using the latest control technology with a high degree of aerodynamic instability, and by extensive use of carbon composite, the resulting airframe and engine are some 10-20% smaller and 30% lighter than its predecessors.
This gives the aircraft advantages in:
-
Agility
-
Supersonic performance
-
Reduced drag
-
Lift and STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) performance
