One photo and the cat's out of the bag

One good photograph of Aurora's planform and inlets is all a skilled aeronautical engineer would need to reverse engineer most of the interesting bits. I'd give the French and Chinese 5 years to reproduce a working design after it was published in "Janes" or "Av Week" (they wouldn't need to waste millions on wind tunnel and CFD work).
