Nice video with AA-1, AF-1, BF-1 footage.

Things to note:-

(1) The revised upper fuselage loft on the BF-1 (greater blending, presumably greater fuel capacity)
(2) The BF-1 spots stealth features on the rear fuselage missing on the AA-1 -- the fuselage terminates in a saw toothed arch over the engine nozzle (engine not installed) whereas the AA-1 had smooth arches.
(3) The vertical fins are smaller.
(4) The landing gear doors are now two piece instead of one piece.
(5) The intake lips are slightly different. Optimized?

Nice group-think video. Risk reduction was mentioned 6 times in 13 minutes. Laughing

With today's terror of risk across the board (don't even get me started on NASA), CYA attitudes, and many just looking for a reason to sue someone I'm surprised it was ONLY six times. Mad

CYA is the motto for any modern jet program (F-22,F-35,B-787,etc.). And its even better if you can get a CYA to back up your CYA!
