TOKYO, Aug 12, 2014 (AFP) - A group of major Japanese firms are planning a test flight next year for the nation's first homegrown stealth fighter jet, a report said Tuesday.
The consortium - led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - is developing a jet that has similar technology to US-made F-35 stealth fighters, with a prototype set for a test run in January, the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper said.
