The reason forward swept wings were tested and abandoned was structural. The wings would twist with much greater force than aft swept wings. It would require a wing root that would be so heavy it negates any performance advantages.

Here’s the thing, they likely don’t perform as they say they do. Russian S-400 systems are supposedly able to detect F-35s from 50 miles away. However, the S-400 has only been seen as able to start locking F-35s from 20 miles away.

For a moment, the opening MIG MFI intro reminded me of the Clint Eastwood MIG-31 Firefox aircraft design. It wasn't swept wing. Oh well. Still waiting for the telepathic flight control (think in Russian!) innovations to make it into USAF inventory (lol). We stole -- borrowed it in 1982, so you'd think we could've reversed engineered it by now after 42 years! BTW, I worked at Grumman Aircraft (1985-1990) where the X-29 was built, tested, and witnessed a test flight. Quite a sight.

I think that the length of the wing in the 47 and distance to the "conards" are what ultimately gave the twisting that was said to keep her as a prototype as beautiful as she is, another design of the diamond shape famously ignored in the YF-23 "polotics" were a near perfect lift to drag with stability in a design I think that I've seen, seeing her fly just looked so effortless, I'd love a world where we saw them both in service even side by side in NATO maybe, well hell, it doesn't hurt to dream...

The SU-57 is not a stealth fighter. It has the same RCS as a clean F/A-18F Super Hornet. And the Super Hornet is not a stealth fighter. The SR-71 has a considerably smaller RCS even though it is twice the size of the Felon. BTW, the SR-71 had exposed screws and even a corrugated skin. The lack of S-ducts allows the engine blades to return radar signals. These returns are very significant. The SU-57 does not use RAM coating on the exterior of the aircraft, at all. They decided to use fiberglass in the construction due to cost restraints. This has also caused issues with the rigidity of the airframe. This means it cannot handle high Gs for extended periods and the life of the airframe is degraded considerably. Also the modeling used clean design and does not take into account the exposed rivets. The recessed screws do present an issue as well. The picture shown of the US aircraft panels are of these panels shows the RAM covering them in the first one and the second is without coating presumably during maintenance without the RAM coating. They are not pictures of the F-35 or F-22 in combat configuration when these are covered. That was a very deceptive misrepresentation. The SU-57 is an example of what not to do creating a stealth aircraft. The design is good but the manufacturing and cost cutting provisions keep this plane from being "stealth." The USA is not afraid, at all.
