TEDBF or ORCA Updates

Who said angled stealth planform shaping kills lift but curved body doesn't??????
Since say 1950 in just 75 years we have NOT reached the dead end & the zenith of naval jet design with Rafale. Every naval jet doesnt have to be like Rafale or a delta-canard.
But still if we search for "stealth rafale" then we get come good conceptual CADs:

But the above concept is an inflated stealth Rafale, as big as F-22 or YF-23.

Just like France skipped 5gen with FCAS/SCAF & surprised the world, it can surprise again with stealth naval jet any time. Time will tell soon.

Approximate scaled comparison of the stealth Rafale fan concept Vs current TEDBF design.

France has confirmed that fcas is designed with carrier operations in mind, just like rafale was.

Yes you shared that earlier. I hope we won't require that if our JV developes 210 KN wet thrust class VCE which would be a lifetime kind of opportunity, now or never.
