Re: FQs AF Jets, I researched this.....

Just a point of information for everyone who thinks these are Joint Strike Fighters. These airplanes have a small wing (called a canard)on the upper forward part of the fuselage. The JSF does not. In a former life (prior to retirement from the Boeing engineering ranks) there were some studies done on canards for a preliminary design of an High Speed Civil Transport (supersonic commercial transport) but I have not seen one for a fighter. They use "thrust vectoring" (changing the direction the exhaust points) for greater control. These appear to be the result of artistic license, but close to the real thing.
