Is that the "unicycle" landing gear configuration I have heard so much about?

Isn't it 'China' instead of 'Chinese'?

In that case Fongman should update either his settings or vocabulary :)

I suspect that the XVF-12 was actually part of a cunning plan to feed the Chinese misinformation about the design of VTOL aircraft.

So cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a mandarin.

At least that would be a better excuse than anything I have yet seen to explain the abominable XVF-12...
