It looks cool but why refuel like that and not probe and rogue? (If a notional F/A-XX)

Looks like one of those many variants of the british BAe SSF/JAST/MSF/early JSF pre-YF-35 concepts.
If you look closely you can see hints of red and blue of the british standard on the model's tail.

Concur.

No. No.

No. No.

What do you think it is? Doesn't say, "F-47" or "F/A-XX".

 

[flateric]

Just something generic. It has no any insignia on tail as well.

Does anyone have more images of this fighter jet? I looked everywhere but couldn't find anywhere.

It's a demonstration of the KC-390's potential to refuel aircraft with boom receptacles. They could have used an F-16, but why advertise an LM product?

The receiver model itself is surely just a generic shape. Why would they out a sensitive design at a trade show not even aimed at a US market? Would they even be allowed to?
