The control surface gaps will probably be filled with dedicated flexible dressings, like on the F-22. Some gaps are intentional, like the ones at the intake-body foremost junction, and filling those would be purely aesthetic.Won't several layers of RAM paint make the parts bigger, therefore possibly filling some of the gaps?
That is the case. Look at the horizontal stab. It can be seen, though TAI takes it on and off frequently.The control surface gaps will probably be filled with dedicated flexible dressings, like on the F-22.

They used several tons of RAM paint.Won't several layers of RAM paint make the parts bigger, therefore possibly filling some of the gaps?
The aircraft doesn't feature RAM at this stage. RAM will be applied later.They used several tons of RAM paint.
That’s what they have said in the interview. But maybe it’s related to future planes.The aircraft doesn't feature RAM at this stage. RAM will be applied later.
Knowing what the F-15 is and can do, that'd be the greatest leap forward for HvKK since F-16 was introduced. 104 to 0 baby.MMU doesn't look nearly as agile as F22 and F22 has bigger wingspan than MMU despite smaller size. I seriously hope MMU can lose some weight and be made more agile. It looks like F22 but operational wise its gonna perform like F15 I feel like
I think it would be little more agile than F15.MMU doesn't look nearly as agile as F22 and F22 has bigger wingspan than MMU despite smaller size. I seriously hope MMU can lose some weight and be made more agile. It looks like F22 but operational wise its gonna perform like F15 I feel like
Wingspan isn't everything. TF-X has been designed with HIGH maneuverability in mind.MMU doesn't look nearly as agile as F22 and F22 has bigger wingspan than MMU despite smaller size.

Meaning ready to enter service in 2026?
Wouldn't that make the serial production starting date 2026? There is no way a domestic engine for TF-X can be available then, not unless we find a genie in a lamb.
Icarus?Icarus stays as a possible name for TF-X. Steady now..
