| heh, got me there, forgot about the Mig-23, well basically all modern migs have 2. I never said that its a step up in design evolution, I just said mig design bureau seems to prefer that arrangement. On top of that every time I think single engine I keep remembering something I watched on discovery channel recently about CF training aircraft, where the instructor says "This isn't an F-18, where if something goes wrong with an engine, you can still land the aircraft with one, on this if something goes wrong with the engine I have 3 words for you EJECT EJECT EJECT" lol. It does look a bit like rafale, but also like Mig 1.44. Gotta agree on the wingtips though, on a second look they seem very sharp. Another idea would be to have manuvering thrusters at the wing tips. |
