A nice series of shots taken from the chase plane of an F-22 conducting drop tank tests.
The USAF currently has 51 platforms. 7 are on active flight training at Tyndall AFB

Yes they do, so the plane returns to a flush fit. They are making conformal mounts so as to reduce RCS visibility, but the bottom line will be that if the external load is not RCS'd to be sympathetic to the plane, then any stealth advantage will be reduced.umair said:
: The cockpit seems like part of 1970's star treck n star war ship's interior. Why cant they make cockpits as beautiful as an interior of new cars.there's alot of Science behind the Contents of the Cockpit like Concentration can be affected by coulourfull bright flashing GUI etc. its like driving a car at night your Onboard instruments have to have a certain amount of illumination sufficient enough to get noticed but-not affect the vision of the driver nor should it distract the driver.
I have nothing against A ritch colorfull screens, but some times when your out n the night ie night missions as gremlin would have been like a billion times, He would not want to stare at a colorful bright almost blinding screen and look out immediately. since Gremlin operates a Heli (i think). its even more critical for him to have had extensive training looking out of the cockpit and in on the Cockpit controls on a near equal basis, this requires concentration (and a heck alot of it). its would possibly distract him if he had a bright flashing screen while he looking out side (which is not a good idea during combat). what do yeah say Grem?
adsh....technology has improved. The map display on Gripen is in colour n GUI but it is not bright. Its clare & visible & does not effect pilots eyes. Off mission or battle pilot should enjoy his flight & jet & on mission or battle he wont even care if there is a GUI display on his jet. His concentraton would be on enemy.

Which fighter seems ugly to u. F-14, F-15 ,F-16 , F-18, F-22, F-35, Mirage2000-5, Rafale, EF-2000, J-10???????
They all seem like they have recieved quite good attention on their looks.
Hack not even JF-17 & LCA look ugly to me.
It has always been Russians who have made big bad ugly air crafts untill they came out with MiG-29. If u see past series of MiGs (Except MiG-21..I like its looks) & Sukhios they r the ugliest in the world. Both from inside out. It was Su-27 that redifined the looks of Sukhio jets.
