    I didn't get it either, they look pretty cool. According to Wikipedia they are bad for stealth, though.

    Canard aircraft can potentially have poor stealth characteristics because they present large angular surfaces that tend to reflect radar signals forwards.

    I also wonder about acoustic signatures on these supercruise 6th gen models. Sure, you spend less cumulative time behind enemy lines, but microphones are cheap and sonic booms are nicely all-at-once and loud. Especially if you're flying nape of the Earth for the additional radar and IR/optical cover.

    Just going to point out that these are not a comparison between American and European design bureaus, it's a comparison between American and European artists.

    We'll still have canards, we'll just put them on the inside this time.
