We’ll still have canards, we’ll just put them on the inside this time.
I don’t understand why everyone in the aviation community seems to hate canards and atthis point in too afraid to ask why…
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.
Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don’t make a difference!
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.

Canard? Why? Can it shoot it’s dick out like one?
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.
Noobs.
Whose livery is that? That’s a gorgeous paint job
That’s the normal navy one i think
Ahh, I should have guessed. The medium dark blue is pretty much the same shade that dungarees were when I was in.
