I am not sure but it sounds like you agree that numbers came from Persia. You almost state that the Egyptian took the Persian technology ( numbers).

Actually I am think there are some neat features to the aircraft that would scale up to a larger size quite nicely.
I am can also see tactical uses for a small stealthu y aircraft with a laser designate or a flirt.
Do you have a problem with direct questions?
Do you have no answer or just thinly veiled insults
(At least you tried to veil your insult, intrptr was not even that polite)

No he asked a honest question expecting an honest answer.
Asking some one to prove a negative is impossible.
Debate fairly or not at all.

I am love history.
Pm something to read that includes the topic and I'll do the reading. COOL?

Gods this things is laughable bad/silly. There is very little aeronautical engineering on this toy, just a bunch of design elements taken from images of other aircraft & sci-fi spaceships. Literally everyone with any experience building/designing/engineering aircraft can take a 2 second glance at this thing and feel impressed they actually got the thing to taxi under its own power.

Apparently they have engines from an F-5?
I just google it again and read an article where a "stealth expert" was pointing out what was wrong with it. How funny would it be if they use all these reports to improve their designs!
Hahaha, stupid american experts improving our designs thinking they are ridiculing us!!

The use I see for it is to develop, learn and to progress the domestic aerospace industry. All the mocking posts from members because it's not an F-22 beater are ignoring the long game.
We may feel all snug and secure with our great technical lead, but here is yet another nation developing advanced technologies from a zero base.
35 years ago there was virtually no Korean aerospace industry at all, yet now the USAF next trainer may be developed from a Korean design.
45 years ago, the idea that two of the worlds most successful civil airliner companies would be Canadian and Brazilian would have been utterly laughable.
I remember reading, around 1980, a Flight editorial that asked how much longer we might rely on advanced aerospace manufacturing and design being the exclusive property of the US, Europe and Russia, as it then was.
The world is changing.
