From certain angles the nose on this new design look's a lot like the Rafael's nose. Are Dassault's engineer's getting too conservative in designing new fighters and sticking to what they already know?

So yes, they are conservative, but for good reasons

It's not.

Thanks a lot Jemiba. You are the best, once more againJemiba said:Second attempt:
Quant au SCAF, M. Trappier a prévenu qu’il n’y avait, pour le moment, aucune « maquette précise et arbitrée », étant donné que les besoins opérationnels et les spécifications sont en cours de définition. « Et même s’il y en avait une, je pense qu’on garderait une certaine confidentialité, puisqu’on a des concurrents, y compris en Europe, du moins en Grande-Bretagne
There is, currently, no accurate and arbitrated model of the SCAF, because operational requirements and spécifications are not yet fully defined. And even if, we would keep a certain confidentiality, since we have competitors.

According to our information, a working group will shortly present its "roadmap" to President Macron on the Franco-German SCAF (Future Combat Air System).
This "group", gathering specialists from the General Directorate of Armament (DGA) and various staffs (Armed Forces, Air Force, Navy), is working on a classified secret-defense file. Once this one validated politically, the industrialists will join this team. Then it will be the turn of the Germans, state and industrial. A "steering structure" will be put in place "before the end of the year", which should lead to the ordering of a" demonstrator"

A Quote from Def Aerospace (a web site heavily relying on Airbus). It is sad to see that as a strategist, he might have missed this.[Chief of Staff Gen. David] Goldfein said he’s spoken with F-35 pilots in Italy and Israel—Israel has already used the F-35 in combat—and “what they’re telling me is, operationally, the airplane is absolutely magnificent.”
