Changing a JFT with delta wings will alter its whole balance and COG, flight characteristics amongst other things. This would then require redesigning and testing.We should try to make this place a forum of mature and educated people. Who do not attack the person but discuss ideas. Perhaps you can write more than "don't be silly" and "learn more" otherwise the level of discussion in this forum will go to the level of 5th grade students.
PAF had the experience to ask for a delta fighter. However they opted for a hassle free approach and went for the JFT current design. They would not want to reinvent the wheel.
We certainly do not have the money and capacity to run 2 programmes side by side so do we shut down the current JFT setup and redesignate and test the fighter as a delta fighter? We will open a whole Pandora's box which we can ill afford at the moment.
So if we want a delta best to get an off the shelf product from somewhere.
