Quick question from reading through the chain above; as far as per publicly available information how finalised was this project’s aerodynamic configuration/ design before it’s collapse?A lot of the artwork/ artist impressions (and for-sale plastic models) as set out above appear to literally be a shrunken single-engined Rafale. That’s probably the surviving view the wider aviation world now has of this long-discontinued project.Some of the apparent wind-tunnel models (again above) share the same general configuration but do appear to show some potential divergence re: the detailed design of the carnards, air-intakes and LERXs (and potentially others I’m not spotting).The narrative text above doesn’t necessarily provide definitive clarity on this (but does appear to emphasise Yugoslav design input?).What’s the educated consensus on this; literally a baby Rafale or something influenced by the Rafale and French input but with more divergence in design?
