Got Raptor?
 

Here's what amazes me the most: English numbers.

Those are arabic numbers....most everyone uses them now.Even the Italians gave up roman numerals, these are better.

Arabic, Schmarabic
 

Except if you've been to the Mid-East, these are the numbers you see:

٠‎ ١‎ ٢‎ ٣‎ ٤‎ ٥‎ ٦‎ ٧‎ ٨‎ ٩‎

These are apparently called Eastern Arabic numbers. They seem to be the norm, and not just "eastern." What you and I learned were "Arabic" numbers should probably be called "European Numbers."

Back to the thread: what is the designation of the Chinese Laptor? The dual nose-wheel is a give-away.

Keep in mind: just because it looks like one doesn't mean it flies like one, or has the electronic goodies/stealth that was the reason the F-22 was so expensive in the first place.

The canopy looks like a big reflector to me.

Definitely not stealthy... Look at those burners

Ours actually are Arabic numbers. This is because when you read and manipulate them they work just like eastern arabic numbers. They are the same system based on 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...the only difference is the squiggles which depict the individual numbers.

Other number systems are read and used differently...try doing long division with Roman or Chinese numbers.

How's the OBOGS on it? lol

Good news is if we need more than 180 or so Raptors we can apparently buy some cheaper overseas produced ones....

(Sarcasm off) No idea how/what is inside them, but seriously....scary.
