#1 Should have started with the SkyRaider and worked up.

#2 If that plane has moving parts there could be problems.

#3 In all fairness the USN has also had the problem of getting fully loaded birds off the deck. The canceled a12 would have required a fuel top off after the cat shot if it were fully loaded. The cats could not handle the GTOW

#4 It sometimes happens with (capitalist running dog) novices writing contracts to overlook little things like ordnance loads included in the aircraft specs.

#6 More likely an F-117.

#8 Hmmm.... is the press release about the J-31 or the J-15? Neither resemble the F-117 in my opinion.

#9 It's twin engined; it looks like it's halfway between an F-35 and an F-22, with the F-35's intake and engine nozzles but a F-22 fuselage between them. (with something that looks Sukhoi-ish between the two nozzles).
