MigBuster 2,871 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Next month, Japan is going to fly their latest fighter, and they’re hoping no one notices. Well, not no one exactly, but as with every stealth fighter, the goal is a visual spectacle and a tiny radar blip. In the works for years, the Mitsubishi Advanced Technology Demonstrator-X, now renamed the X-2, is designed to fit into Japan’s modernizing, staunchier military. Did we mention it’s stealthy? http://fightersweep.com/3793/more-on-japans-stealth-fighter/ Edited January 29, 2016 by MigBuster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atreides 144 Posted January 29, 2016 Apparently it's a sub scale tech demonstrator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted February 17, 2016 That's a proof of concept, not a prototype of an operational combat plane. It also has quite a few distinctly un-stealthy features that can't be a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+WhiteBoySamurai 1,092 Posted February 24, 2016 They did the unveiling at Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works, less than an hour from where I live. (But I couldn't get in because I don't have a press pass...) I really like the 3D TVC paddles. A similar design was also used on the X-31 and F-18 HARV super-maneuverability demonstrators. This tells us something about the capabilities they intend for the final product to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
