unless high AoA with ability to turn tight loops is not part of operational requirements for CATS.. top intakes are fine. Plz dont use eyeball mk1 for rcs measurements.

What do you mean? Where its said that its not stealthy?
1. Is the two engine layout a consequence of non-availability of a engine at 10kN range by virtue of which its better to go with established engine STFE 4.5kNx2 rather than trying fresh 10kN engine which may take longer time?
2. If that is the case, how would the fuel efficiency and range be affected? Because every other loyal wingman-esque of that size has single engine setup. How much would the penalty be?
