    @ChiChiWerx The thing is, the Su-50 is stealth, the Su-35 isn't. The F-35 has the advantage that the Su-50 has: Stealth. So, the F-35 has the advantage over the Su-35's, and the F-22 and the Su-50 are Matched.

    Once again, too speed is the issue for me.

    @LockheedMartinAerospace I get the top speed requirement, but don't you think the F-35 drivers need to consider the Flanker (which is much faster) when executing their sorties?

    @ChiChiWerx A very high speed will make it too fast for anything at all, while too slow will allow the Su-50 to catch up.

    The thing that instantly dissuaded me from taking part was this requirement: 1) Top speed of greater than 1560 mph, but less than 2276 mph. That's an awfully specific speed requirement, not sure why you would shackle a design to this requirement...
