I am curious to hear what the wing surface area is, because the body sure as hell doesn't look like its going to create much lift (look at a F-15, Su-27). If the wing surface is that small, then that thing's stall speed is going to be crazy high, and it will have a high wing loading, making it bad for dogfighting as well.

If a couple of video game geeks can look at that and see that its a fail jet I can only imagine what the engineers at Lockheed/Martin are thinking.

They're probably laughing so hard they're crying.

But really look at the chord on that wing!  Its just absurd.  Theres no other way to describe it.

In other words, even a Ta-152 can take one down.

Holy crap! I dunno if anybody here has seen this yet.....but the Iranians just love them some photoshop!

And look how tiny the cockpit is! The console looks like its a bunch of mocked up LCD screens/CD players and I guess the pilot is going to have one hell of a time taking off.....cause he doesn't have a throttle

Hey i want Iran to fly the thing, Seeing as the Ejection seat armor does not even cover most of the Pilots head, arms, shoulders and some of his legs i look forward to a time where someone is shooting at it. Not too mention i don't actually think he can use the stick if he happens to have legs  

Plus looking at the cockpit layout, and the lack of any HUD or Helmet capable of having one... I'm not too sure how they want the Pilot to fly accurately without him having to peer around his knees to see any information

This plane is made for magical Persian dwarfs of course.

It looks like a small remake of the old FireFox plane from the 1982 movie. But the size isn't a problem the F-35 isn't much bigger. I agree I do not think it is ready to fly and is more than likely a prop. but working on these planes at Tinker lets me see that the fighters are getting smaller.

Well size is an issue here, what if the Pilot happens to have legs? Then that is half his cockpit and the primary flight controls he cannot use...

That's why you amputate the pilots. PROBLEM SOLVED NEXT CALLER

[Bsmith_01]

cockpit size alone doesn't matter, after all, look at the Viper, pilots are mostly sitting in the canopy and taller ones have their knees visible too.  Though, it works for that because the seat is reclined 35⁰......

Well here if you look at the pic his knees are both touching and squashing the stick, i think it does matter here...

Again, the pilots need to be amputated to fit in there. Iran likes catering for the handicapped.
