They are pretty, I like straight lines.

Thrust vector aircraft will do the same as the R-73

But i bet that planes with TVC will immediately do ten kulbits just by pressing W slightly and fall to the ground without energy.

they will most likely be fantasy planes, i have 0 interest on them because of that.

The moving top surfaces of the intake ducts also serve to affect the aerodynamics of the aircraft. A distant relative of a similar device on the Su 57.


On the sides of the intake channels there are somewhat thicker LEX which form vortices.

That’s incorrect. The avionics to use amber racks would just be a software update. ADCP II is more than capable. Could they just plug them on any jet currently? Probably not, but that has more to do with not putting the money in for it as the capability isn’t necessary. Could they be upgraded for it? Most definitely.

The F-15EX did not rip out the computers. It ripped out the mechanical linkages for the flight controls.

But it isn’t F-15EX on photo. It is just demonstrator or what?

It’s an F-15C, with CFTs and amber racks for fit testing.

The deflected parts of the air intakes were made to reduce pressure losses at high angles of attack

That too. And the second, equally important thing is the effect on the aerodynamics of the aircraft. With the movable intake ducts, it was possible to reduce the size of the stabilizer, this led to a reduction in trim drag and weight savings. It also delays the flow separation along the fuselage at higher AoA.

Probably the first thing we thought about was the engine.

They fixed wing tanks size on new dev.

Yes affecting the air to the engines is a major activity , not many know that is not all they do.
From technical paper :
This rotating inlet, which is well forward of the center-of-gravity, has a significant effect on aircraft
longitudinal stability and control across the subsonic/transonic Mach number spectrum
of the F-15.

did the devs say something about changing multipath?

That they won’t
