Mitusbishi Stealth X-2 Makes Maiden Flight

The picture at the link below is small and grainy, but the shape, while very similar to the F-22 in planform, seems to lack a number of features you would expect to see on a stealth aircraft. An even bigger question, based upon the article's reference to Japan's constitutional limits, is why the Japanese would need a stealth platform for use over their own country. A bit of thought will generate several valid reasons, but it is still a big investment.
