Incredible pictures--I'm struck by the level of detail and color. It's hard to imagine an airplane capable of supersonic cruise and still be agile as a dogfighter (hats off to the designers).
the super-cruise and agility mostly comes from the new engines; 35,000 lbs of thrust each compared to the f-15's 25,000 lbs each. that's 20,000 lbs more thrust total. then you vector the exhaust and you get greater maneuverability then anything else in the US arsenal.
It's also 3rd generation stealth and all of it's weapons are stored internally.
Its electronics on board far beyond anything that we currently use.
