Future Stealth?
Dave 'B' would appear to be a further compromised version of a Design which is already compromised (Weight, Frontal-Area & Aerodynamics) in the pursuit of 'stealth'.
With these drawbacks, how valuable an A/C would it be if the march of technology removed the stealth advantage?
I have no access to such info, but I would not be surprised to discover that even now two (linked) AWACS would be able to detect stealthy aircraft at a useful range; using the 'shadow' or some similar method.
Where would that leave Dave 'B' in the Eagle, Typhoon, Rafael type ranking? Are we throwing all our eggs in one basket?
