It only means that you understand "antenna" too strictly.
In the RBE2, all the rear part of the radar (processors for signal treatment, memory, power distribution, colling...) is the same for the two antennas.
No, i don't understand the word "antenna" too strict, an antenna and a TWT and phase shifter are three completely different things. Your argument basically sound like
" There is very small difference between 911 GT3 RS and 996 Turbo because they only need to change the engines and furniture and some small aerodynamic"
And it's not why you are right.
Quantity of arguments is useless. Quality prior.
Oh yeah sure, keep telling yourself that
Because to you,apparently comments like "A huge and sugar like frame ", "it looks like a pig" are very high quality arguments compared to using data directly from flight manual and physics equations.
To be Frank, no one here is delusional enough to think your argument is of better quality.
Absolutely nothing new or special in F35.
A huge and sugar like frame,
A very classical wing form, without APEX, heavy loaded.
Once again, repeat nonsense doesn't make it true. As already explained, even a slight change in wing sweep, wing thickness, tapered ratio, wing shape will change the CL/alpha and Cd/alpha curve significantly. Not everything has to be obvious to the amateur eye to create a significant change to the aircraft
For example, from outside Mirage III/5 and Mirage 2000 looks very similar, same delta wing configuration, same single vertical tail, same single engine design, same cone inlet
if anyone was to use your kind of logic, they would have expected the two aircraft to have the same or similar agility, and just like you, they couldn't be more wrong.
At 15000 ft, instantaneous turn rate of Mirage III peaked at 15 deg/second whereas the instantaneous turn rate of Mirage 2000 peaked nearly 24 deg/second. The difference of 9 deg/second or in other words, ITR of Mirage 2000 is 60% superior to Mirage III.
Sustained turn rate of Mirage III at the same altitude peaked at 9 deg/second whereas the sustained turn rate of Mirage 2000 peaked at near 12.5 deg/second. The difference of 3.5 deg/second, or in other words, STR of Mirage 2000 is roughly 38.8% superior to Mirage III.
But yeah sure, keep telling yourself that there is nothing new on F-35 compared to F-16 or F-18
Remember the F16-30 vs F35 flight.... after 10 years of dev...
It doesn't matter what they believe, it literally is written in the report that the test was to examine F-35 behavior at extreme elevated AoA and therefore make the change to flight control
The flying enveloppe is among the first thing cleared.
Nope.
