Trivia question (1)

[vfGHOSTY]

this is believe to be a prototype for a 5th Generation Russian jet fighter.
   

So here is question:

What was the first succesfully flown A/C that used the same concept of wing design?

well Nath somehow it slipped my mind that all A/C desighns were courtesy of brothers Wright.     He-He I forgot - Ikar got airborn even b4r Wright had build his plane...

Will the little fact that USAF has tried this design of inverted wing over and over and came up with nothing make you feel any better?

There is such thing that called evolution and progress. If you smart you take whats good and make it better - that is evolution IMO.

Just ignore him - you haven't made any references to Herr Tank who obviously inspired all good things including sliced bread .
