No, it isn't.


Uh-huh, uh-huh. So why is it then that everytime a Russian (Soviet)
aircraft comes out, it bears a striking resemblance to a
pre-existing aircraft of somebody else's?

Tupolev Tu-4, Buran, the list goes on and on.


Physics is universal ! Similar need gives similar result !


In the case of the Tu-4, painstaking measurement of a B-29 gave an
identical result, because they measured a B-29 and copied it.
