The plane is supposed to be larger then the F-16. But the canopy seems be relatively larger compared to the fuselage when compared to an F-16. For the pilot to stretch his arms?
I heard it costs as much to build as the F-15J which is already bloody expensive. At that kind of costs, I would have thought it would be better to upgrade the F-15J, you know, slap on some FAST packs, add 3 more lasers to the head, that kinda thing.
