does anyone have the current requirements for the program?


basing upon the words of Chief Moseley: it is *that* important, since this will be a patch and a gap filler between B1s and the pentasonic exoatmospheric (unmanned?) bomber?

Maybe everybody already knew, but there's an interesting <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Idr020524_1_p.jpg" target="_blank">wikipedia entry</a> about the FB-22, as old as 2004 (if i am not wrong). It says it would be a two seated, all-wing a\c, have substantially the same regional usage of F-111, no vectorial thrust, 1600 miles range, stealth internal bays and -as per 2004 news- wide usage of SDBs, as many as 30.

Not a chance I'm reading an article on Wiki...Too many experts that have no idea what they're talking about. I've never seen that 'mockup' in official documentation...looks more like someone had fun with photoshop.

Maffa, Wiki has absolutely no credibility. The articles are not vetted and anyone can write them.
