Those who thought LM would make NGAD got big surprise.
Those who know about dihedral/anhedral wings got surprise.
Those who thought canards are bad got big surprise.
For me, everything opposite to expectations has happened so far.
What more surprises are waiting?

Well well.
S duct intakes below the fuselage are expected and make logical sense.
Could be surprised there, tho that is very unlikely case and probably the biggest surprise if it happened.

Putting the intakes below like in EF-2000, MiG-1.44, etc increases the height of airframe & hence the RCS also. When engines would be stronger than F-22's F-119, then the intakes also would be larger which i already showed via diagrams.
We can see from the cross sections that F-22's ducts curve diagonally as seen from front. If they curve vertically then the engines will space out & create hump like in YF-23, may further increasing height. The engine might be visible from front depressed angle.

By Below I mean ducts like in f35, f22, compared to ducts like b2,b21 etc.
Not like flankers.

The surprise I'm talking about about it ducts actually being above the fuselage.
Will be the most shocking thing if turned out to be true( highly unlikely)

Yeah obviously i hope they don't make an upside down jet, or downside up jet.

Possible F 47 render/ sighting in new USAF recruitment ad.

The final design probably looks like this.

Are you not monitoring various 3D models by different artists?
This one is probably by "Por Yamato 3D" on TurboSquid website:

https://www.turbosquid.com/pt_br/3d-models/3d-future-jet-fighter-concept-2050-pack-1817091

And 2nd one has been made by Rodrigo Avella & then by some other artists.

Perhaps the easiest full-scale F-47 look-alike TD/prototype modified from existing jet F-22.
The wing & tail-stab positions are interchanged & rudders removed.
It is a quick, simple,notional edit, many small flaws can be observed by people into 3D CAD.
Making its front, side, bottom views w/o 3D S/w by just imagining is very tedious at this time, what i used to do on graph sheets in school-days in 1990s watching F-117, B-2, developing F-22 on Discovery channel. The good old days
Anyways, i wonder if LM built such a jet for competition or research.

Here is the V2 with wing lengthened, leading edge angle increased.
The canard had to be shortened, maintaining planform design. With TVC nozzles, big canards may not be required.
I made the nose narrower, triangular to lessen drag & RCS.
Comparison with V1 is also shown.
The day i'll get a light weight, old, stable version of some 3D CAD S/w for my old laptop, i'll start translating these into 3D.
Feedbacks are welcome, i'm making a V3 also.
