Hey czubspenx, before you attempt to sound intelligent, ensure your spelling and grammar are correct. We have good people working on these projects, which will eventually save American lives. "The Man" isn't always after you. This is the real world, not a college poli-sci class.
lol OMG, they did copied Yak-141, A 1987 technology by Russian.
Check it out. I would say 90% match in terms of technology.
But the production of the air craft of this type was cancelled in 1990. Maybe they thought it won't have much advantage in the 1 on 1 battle against other fighter jet.
sexisfun000, Lockheed Martin has come out and said that much. They even had some of the Yak team help develop the lift system. That makes it less a copy and more an homage to human ingenuity. The best things happen when multiple cultures work together for a common solution.
Actually 90% match is an understatement, i think it should be around 98-99% match. That's why I said it's a copy. There's no visible innovation compare to the Yak-141, but merely a face lift to the shape of the aircraft.
It's like taking a 1987 ferrari engine, place it into a corvette, then call it the ultimate corvette aka zr1.
US shouldn't call it a 5th generation fighter jet, it should be put in the 3th generation category.
You do realize I only referenced the lift system when it came to Yak's involvement in the F-35 project right? Hell Yakovlev sold the lift system principle to Lockheed for 400 million USD. The Yak uses 3 engines where the F-35 uses only one. The F-35b employs a lift fan in place of the 41M's lift jet which makes it more fuel efficient. To my eye the F-35 looks nothing like the 141 Freestyle which to me looks more like a Mig 25 or an F-15.
Wow. The Navy gets a replacement for a not yet aged fighter (with a little longer range, less speed and no engine redundancy) while its other air wings suffer for lack of competent replacements. The Marines get a better form of Harrier without what most asked for (engine redundancy).
One size does not fit all.
Watch the replacement rate of the aircraft and mortality rate of Naval Aviators soar when this bird hits the Fleet.

Does anybody wonder why we have all these pertetual wars?
It's because the Military Industrial Complex makes billions and billions of dollars off of war!

Not fifth gen, good thing you know nothing about DAS then.

@sexisfun000
Yak-141 uses several jet engines to gain lift, while F-35 uses 1.
If you call that a facelift, then You are seriously mistaken.
There are tons of crucial differences that puts this worlds apart from the Yak. Don't just look at things on the outside, but the inside too!

Yah it had two smaller doors when it was the YF-35b in 2001.Maybe the large door also acts as a speed brake.?
