This is a true canard design and as such it has a fundamental

stall capacity to recover the failed descent.
You mean that you can exceed 90 degrees of bank and roll all the way
inverted without the lifties falling off the wing? How does it know
it's inverted?
A roll to a dive is a safe and highly envelope extending ability over
the USA jets.
You mean USA jets can't roll into a dive?
It can literally out speed all USA jets as it goes to the deck.
Speed is speed. Up, down or level.
And in dogfights where unknown missles are the issue, the deck is
where the safe place is. A good pilot could shred the YF-22 in this
maneuver.
And what will happen when someone invents a doppler radar that doesn't
see ground clutter?
Did you get this stuff out of a comic book?
