AVIC F-60, the Chinese F-22?

You gotta be kidding me!

As usual, having AVIC's DSI http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/th...ang%20F-60.jpg

Is the J series being renamed the F series?

Don't you mean the F-35's DSI?

No, it's the AVIC JF-17's DSI, since JF-17 prototype PT-06 flew over 3 months before F-35 prototype AA-1 did.

Again with the blurring of history? The X-35 flew YEARS before PT-06.

J-21/(F-60 export designation?) is not the Chinese F-22. That goes to the J-20. it is low-cost alternative to the F-35 and is targeted for export as well. Not everyone can afford the F-35. But its not clear whether this will be the final layout of the plane.

X-35 was the concept that developed into F-35 just as Toyota FT-SX was the concept that developed into Toyota Venza. Ford Edge is still the first mid-size crossover even though FT-SX preceded it. Likewise, JF-17 Prototype 06 is the first plane having DSI even though X-35 preceded it.

Yeah... no.

Are the Wright Brothers not credited with the invention of the airplane even though is was just a "tech demonstrator"?

As Newton once said "I can see far because I stand on the shoulders of giants.", the Wright brothers could not have made the first flyable aircraft without Egyptian and Chinese and Greek and Babylonian maths, or without paper invented by Chinese people.

Your own words betray you "JF-17 Prototype 06 is the first plane having DSI even though X-35 preceded it."

Sign. Will you stop being a machine? When I say JF-17 is the first plane that has DSI, I IMPLY it is the first operational plane that has DSI, not a drawing of a plane, not a plane concept, not a plane model, not a plane mockup. And how do you know LM invented DSI? How do you know some 12 year old kid hasn't invented DSI before LM did? And LM is not even a person, it's a corporation.

It really hurts you that Americans flew the first DSI, doesn't it.
