Lost in the news of the Sukhoi PAK-FA's unveiling and first flight was the first flight of the Kawasaki XC-2 which was delayed due to structural issues discovered around the time of the P-X's first flight.
Sharp-looking bird. It'll be interesting how it stacks up to the Embraer transport, the KC-390.
Kawasaki has said that it has some commonality with the P-X, but I'm not sure how, perhaps cross-deck qualification as they seem to be about as different looking aircraft as can be. Airliners.net just posted a good shot of the XC-2 on approach.
