    I’m stealing this post and making a better Chinese version

    (gee anyone know any stories about Western fighter jets that are stuck in development hell while the Chinese ‘rip off’ is actually better?)

      Tell me when you do! I’ve never really looked into this stuff before, but trying to find the right plane lead me down a bit of an interesting rabbit hole engineering wise. I’d imagine it’ll be the same no matter what country made the plane I’m looking into.

      Actually if you all already have Chinese planes you think are cool you should comment them here so I can look them up instead of working on my final projects lol. Bonus points if the shape of the jet is weird because the shape is that way for a reason, and that reason is usually interesting physics.
