Japanese can easily buy out the f-35 design and manufacture it themselves.
The F22 was supposed to be exported to Japan but too much top secret stuff so the yanks prefer to shut down the line. In addition because the F22 is soo vulnerable it does not serve in Afghanistan or Iraq. Also those 2 places don't need such high tech stuff. Better to keep it from harm's way.

Dream on!

You think it is like the Hari Raya Kuays can cookies you copy formula can make yourself?




In a modern jet fighter it needs huge collection of precious rate material, technological processes, facilities and equipments that no simple industrial states have the means to qualify. In whole world not more than 4 countries can make. Only US Russia & China has nearly all the capabilities, but yet their advantages/shortfall are quite vast. There may not be a forth country, or at the most the 4th can only make 50% of the necessary parts. Good Engine; Good Radar; Good Airframe; Good software; Good Communications & Computers; Good Stealth materials; thousands of hurdles and secrets that nobody will share. The technology of Japan can not reach even 50% of these.

Entire EU combined in full collaboration could only come out with Euro-Fighter.

Chinese shows Dark Sword Hypersonic Drone that is hightest technology. Airframe is Giant 3D printed with graphite, strong light and stealth. No other country can reach this level.

This drone highly agile, can carry out anti-aircraft anti-ship and nuke raid. The way Chinese Media are allowed to publish photo of their top secret development team, means the project is already over and product is completed. The team is dissolved and reorganized into other projects. This is how PLA declassify their secrets. When the secrecy is obsoleted then they tell you.

  [文/观察者网 堵开源]英国《简氏防务周刊》网站6月7日报道,最近在中国网络上开始流传中国航空工业集团的“暗剑”无人机照片,该刊认为,这种无人机可能具有多种用途。

  报道称,从“暗剑”无人机的模型在2006年首次公开展示到今天,已经过去了12年——这让人们关于其发展状况产生了多种的猜测。

  公开的照片没有标注日期,但可以看到背景中有一架大型、很长、金属原色的机身,带有鸭翼和DSI设计的下方布局进气口,在进气道左侧写有中文“暗剑”字样。照片并未拍摄到中部机身后飞机的具体模样,但可以看到垂直尾翼的一部分。

  此外,还可以看到,“暗剑”的左侧起落架舱门,采用了锯齿状设计。

  关于这架无人机的几何尺寸数据,尚无详细信息,但通过飞机前方站立的19名工程设计人员为参照物,可以推测,其长度大概是12米左右。

  “暗剑”无人机被认为是沈阳飞机设计局(601所)开发的高机动、超音速无人空中优势战斗机或纵深打击平台。

  另一方面,该机有浓厚的验证机色彩,因此外界也认为,自2006年公开以后,其任务可能也经过了演化,可能包含了为先进有人驾驶战斗机验证设计和飞行控制规律的任务,同时,它也是一种可以用于训练的高生存力、高速靶机平台。

  观察者网军事评论员认为,《简氏防务周刊》此文关于“暗剑”可能担负任务的观点,显然参考了此前微信公号“亚洲火车总站”6月6日的分析文章,当时公号文章作者席亚洲就分析认为,“暗剑”可能的任务有三个,无人僚机技术试验平台、高速打击\侦查平台,以及先进航空制造和技术验证机。

  从目前关于“暗剑”在各个消息渠道,尤其是通过官方文宣资料的内容来看,“暗剑”作为先进技术验证平台的可能性较大。

[text / observer network plug open source] British "Jane's Defense Weekly" website reported on June 7, recently on the Chinese network began to spread the China Aviation Industry Corporation's "Dark Sword" drone photos, the magazine believes that this Drones may have multiple uses.

According to the report, it has been 12 years since the "Dark Sword" drone model was publicly displayed for the first time in 2006. This has given rise to many speculations about its development.

The public photos are not dated, but it can be seen that there is a large, long, metal-colored fuselage in the background. The lower layout inlet with duck wings and DSI design is written on the left side of the inlet. Dark sword. The photo does not capture the exact shape of the aircraft behind the central fuselage, but it can be seen as part of the vertical tail.

In addition, it can be seen that the left landing gear door of the "Dark Sword" has a zigzag design.

There is no detailed information on the geometry of the drone, but it is estimated that the length of the drone is about 12 meters.

The "Dark Sword" drone is considered to be a high-mobility, supersonic unmanned air superiority fighter or a deep strike platform developed by Shenyang Aircraft Design Bureau (601).

On the other hand, the aircraft has a strong verifier color, so the outside world also believes that since its publication in 2006, its mission may have evolved and may include the task of verifying the design and flight control laws for advanced manned fighter aircraft. It is also a high-surviving, high-speed target platform that can be used for training.

Observer Network military commentators believe that the "Jane's Defense Weekly" article on the "Dark Sword" may assume the task of the point of view, obviously reference to the previous WeChat public number "Asian Railway Station" June 6 analysis article, when the public number The author of the article, Xi Xia, analyzed that there are three possible missions of the “Dark Sword”: unmanned aircraft technology test platform, high-speed strike/detection platform, and advanced aviation manufacturing and technology verification machine.

From the current content of the “Dark Sword” in various news channels, especially through the official propaganda materials, “Dark Sword” is more likely to serve as an advanced technology verification platform.
The main structural parts of the “Dark Sword”, which is said to be manufactured using 3D printing technology, are said to be the main structural parts of the “Dark Sword” fuselage manufactured using 3D printing technology.

It's all well and good. But can it fly and stay airborne?

The super hornet is bigger that was why it had a bigger engine etc..it was built because the F18A could not meet its mission specs because it was under powered. If F18 soo good it would have been exported to more countries. The only other country using the super hornet is Australia n they got it as a stop gap measure bcos of the delays in the F35.
Australia had f-18 's way back in 1985. Its their main fighter.
Super duper hornet will receive advance paints to make it slmost as stealthy as F35 snd can go on mission together. Plus extended range. Current super hornets now undergoing this upgrade.

If that is the case. Why they still investing in F35?
