My opinion as well. They just came to look the way because of engineering.
A10 is surely functional, but not in the "designed" category.
That said, I still the the X-32 is a joke design wise. It is an embarrassment and could be the reason for losing out (although F-35 is not exactly hot in the desing department either).
Will it change with the public getting more and more involved in these projects? Will the next generation a/c be designed to attract "votes" ?
