The first supersonic vertical takeoff stealth aircraft. It's difficult to tell this bird from the F/A-22 in flight, but landing and takeoff is a whole different ballgame. The speed is the same as the F/A-22, but this one can operate close to the front in close support of ground troops, assuming of course the dust and grit in sandy environments does not destroy the engines in quick order. I do not think that has been tested yet.
Here are the specs on this technological wonder.
